Our holiday recipes are back!

Latkes, butter tarts, wellington, and more

In need of some kitchen inspiration this holiday season? Feminist Food Journal editors Isabela Vera and Zoë Johnson and social media coordinator, Sigríður Héðinsdóttir, along with Theo Cadbury, our good friend and founder of the UK-based NGO Xenia, have put together a list of our favourite recipes for this festive time of year. We also offer reflections on what these dishes mean to us.

In this newsletter:

• Chickpea confit, and the serendipity of clumsiness 

• Flatkaka, and remembering the arrival of garlic on one’s shores

• Winter Wellington, and the complexities of longing for home

• Latkes, and the omnipresent shame of not really knowing your own culture

• Butter Tarts, and their complicated colonial history

• Pierogi, and building new traditions

We hope all of you are enjoying a festive and delicious holiday season.

With love and gratitude,
