Ep. 453 Gravestone Recipes: Cooking to Honor the Dead with Rosie Grant

Listen Later

Learn about Rosie Grant’s unique project to memorialize those who have died by cooking their special recipes.

My guest Rosie Grant has a library science degree from the University of Maryland and now works at UCLA as an archivist. She is well known on social media as a “cemetery tiktoker” who researches recipes found on gravestones in cemeteries across the U.S. She shares her story and how she began to collect these gravestone recipes and cook them to honor the people who left them behind. We also discuss the value of exploring cemeteries and the treasures that can be found there. Learn more at her website and social media sites:
