The Culinary Heritage Project
Turn memory into living heritage.
The Culinary Heritage Project creates the gatherings, projects and tools that help families, communities and cultures preserve what they know. Everything preserved through the Project can become part of KinDish’s living culinary memory.
Gather it through CHP. Preserve and connect it through KinDish.
