Dear Readers,As we enter another month under the unprecedented challenges posed by the global spread of COVID-19, we would like to take this opportunity to update you, our valued readers, on the steps that we are taking here at The Recipes Project.First, we want to thank all of you for your unwavering support of the blog and your continued engagement with the material we publish. Whether you are a first-time reader or a multi-year contributor, or anyone in between, we appreciate you and the enthusiasm you bring to our mission and our content. We value your health and safety above all else, so please take time to care for yourselves and each other in this time when we must all draw strength from our community.We hope the The Recipes Project can continue to serve as a source of inspiration and respite as many of us intensify our social distancing practices and work to migrate our personal and professional lives online. As we each seek our own ways to adjust to this uncertain time, The Recipes Project will be here for you as a refuge of delight and interest. All of us on the editorial team are dedicated to delivering the same thought-provoking, at times lighthearted, content you’ve come to expect from us. To that end, we plan to make the following minor adjustments to our publication schedule over the next few months, effectively immediately:We will operate on a reduced schedule, offering a new blog post once per week, every Thursday.These posts will revisit some of the most enduring contributions to the blog from years past. We hope that you find these tidbits from our history as fresh and relevant to today’s concerns as we do.If you are a contributor and would still like to send us your own work, we welcome new articles on the research and themes that matter to you. From time to time, we will continue to publish this new material, and we would absolutely love to hear from you.Thank you all for your continued interest, patience, and generosity of spirit as we make this temporary transition. Please take care, and we look forward to seeing you back here very soon.Sincerely,The Recipes Project Editorial Team
