A pot, a knife, a dabba—all made far more precious because they come with the memories of people who used them, and the stories that they shared. We invite you to look through treasured kitchen things from across the country.
Kitchen hand-me-downs are not just a wonderful way to hold on to family heirlooms, but also a meaningful way to preserve and carry on important parts of our culinary heritage. They hold within them the precious traditions of our regional cuisines and diverse communities, and offer a window into aspects of our food culture which are slowly being forgotten.
Whether they take the shape of a worn out cast iron pan, a quaint old mortar and pestle, or even a dogeared handwritten cookbook, they remind us of a time gone by, and connect us to the people that we love and are separated from.
