Etched in Stone: Lessons from Recipes Found on Gravestones Presented by Rosie Grant

May 28 at 7:00 p.m. - at the Andres Pico Adobe

Join us for a fascinating journey into the world of gravestone recipes with Rosie Grant, creator of @GhostlyArchive. Rosie researches and recreates real recipes engraved on headstones—an unexpected intersection of food, memory, and legacy. What began during her digital archives internship at Congressional Cemetery has grown into a viral project exploring how families preserve culinary traditions long after someone is gone.

Rosie will share stories from her research, the history behind these edible memorials, and what these recipes reveal about the lives they honor. Discover how food becomes a lasting tribute, etched in stone and passed down through generations. Follow Rosie on Instagram at @ghostly.archive or visit ghostlyarchive.com.
