August
2026
A month for the meals that make a family feel at home.
The Recipe That Feels Like Home
Tell us the story your family always asks for.
Throughout August, we're looking for recipes that bring people back to the table — to feature in the OPR Cookbook and share with our growing community.
Your family story could be next.

More Than Just Recipes
Some recipes are passed down through generations. Others are found in faded notebooks, handwritten cards, or scribbled on the back of shopping lists. Every one carries a memory worth preserving.

Every Family Has One Recipe
Hidden inside kitchen drawers, handwritten notebooks and old family albums are recipes that deserve to be remembered.
Other People's Recipes exists to preserve not only the food, but the people, memories and traditions behind it.
