Homecooked is a quarterly magazine that celebrates the art of home cooking across America.
Issue 04: Fruit Ridge
Between Grand Rapids and Lake Michigan lies Fruit Ridge—a region where the land feels alive with memory. Orchard rows roll over glacier-carved hills, and the air smells of fresh cider and ripe fruit. In this issue you’ll meet 10 home cooks whose recipes carry the touch of those who came before—started by grandmothers, guided by memory, and made with care.
