Abstract

Common, day-to-day events and mundane interactions often have no history but leave a practical knowledge legacy. Knowledge construction is about creating meaning through social interactions. Food preparation is a medium through which women provide for the social construction of knowledge. This comparative case study involving the lived experiences of six women from the rural South who grew up during the Great Depression illustrates how knowledge is socially constructed in everyday life leaving a legacy for future generations.
