Together, we will explore practical, accessible ways to document, safeguard, and share recipes using archival methods rooted in care, cultural memory, and community stewardship. Through storytelling, hands-on exercises, and guided reflection, participants will leave with tools to preserve not only ingredients and instructions, but the stories, people, and places that give those recipes meaning.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/anc.apm.activecommunities.com\/mecklenburgparks\/activity\/search\/detail\/174385?onlineSiteId=0\u0026amp;locale=en-US\u0026amp;from_original_cui=true\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"MeckRoots Program\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEnroll today with MeckRoots.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Event","offers":[{"title":"General Admission","offer_id":44136478572643,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0621\/7515\/0179\/files\/MeckRoots-TheRecipeasArchive-1.png?v=1776950640","url":"https:\/\/redricebooks.com\/products\/meckroots-the-recipe-as-archive","provider":"Red Rice Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
