    WYD Podcast With Rosie Grant.

    Rosie Grant is a writer, baker, and traveler who journeys across the world with an unusual guide: gravestones. In cemeteries from small towns to far-off countries, Rosie searches for recipes carved into headstones — instructions left behind as acts of love, memory, and hope. She then brings those recipes back to life, baking and cooking them exactly as they were written.What began as curiosity has become a moving exploration of grief, culture, and connection. Each dish tells a story — not just of how someone cooked, but how they wanted to be remembered.Rosie has gathered these remarkable recipes into her book To Die For, a collection that’s equal parts cookbook, and meditation on legacy.In this conversation,  we’re talking about food, memory, and what it means to be remembered — one recipe at a time.
