The Kalamazoo College Cookbook represents a community potluck, ranging from the simple and sweet to the intricate and savory, sprinkled with helpful tips and fond memories. Chefs are invited to find a new twist on an old favorite or experiment with a new dish.
At K, the familiar motto “the end of learning is gracious living” speaks to giving, fellowship, friendship and gratitude. In this spirit, every contributor, editor, artist and chef plays an important part in this “fellowship of cooking.” Thank you to the Office of College Marketing and Communication and the Copy Center, whose talent and professionalism is baked into every page. A special thank you to the dozens of colleagues from every division whose recipes make this diverse buffet a treat to share.
