Yimkin: Palestinian Family Recipe Archive


A recipe book archive of my Palestinian family’s traces, dislocations, and memories in ingredients; of emotional eating and bittersweetness; of food as a translator and cooking as practice for everything else. I’ve collected around 140 of my recipes, and my family’s recipes, that have been cooked over our three generations of being displaced from Palestine.

Inherited and altered recipes are used as evidence of Palestinian survival, grief, and world-making. In every recipe, there are presences, absences, threads of what has made it to me, and negative space that admits to my family’s removal. Every meal we make holds our celebrations, separations, longings, and care.

Visit the Yimkin website here for more information.
