Cooking in Quarantine, 2020
Digital Book
A farewell gift for the participants of Expressions

Cooking in Quarantine is a recipe book created with the participants of Expressions, a therapeutic day program for individuals with memory loss at Advocate Lutheran General Outpatient Center. For five weeks, the group met virtually to find connection through cooking during the Covid-19 pandemic. Each week, the participants made and shared drawings of comfort food, favorite cooking utensils, plates and bowls. The participants also made a list of ingredients for the group, Expressions and made a drawing reflecting on the group. This recipe book was made by putting together all the drawings and the recipes shared by the participants and their family members. The blank pages are included for the participants who wish to add more to the book.
