Recently, we reached out to people in our Cloud Native community and asked them to share recipes that have special cultural, emotional or familial meaning for them. We also spoke with them in order to hear and collect not just the ingredients and methods that make these meals taste good, but the stories behind these recipes that make them resonate with place, culture, people, history, connection and love.

We hope these recipes enliven your own kitchens throughout the year to come and serve as a reminder of the rich diversity of our community, the value of food as storyteller and cultural memory-box, and of the togetherness that technology makes possible even when we are physically apart.
