Thoughtful Recipes To Say What Words Can’t
There are moments when someone you care about is going through a hard time—grief, illness, a tough diagnosis—and you just want to do something. A warm meal is often what we turn to. It’s tangible. It’s comforting. It says I’m here for you, without needing the perfect words.
We’ve heard from many families caring for a loved one with cancer—or navigating life after a loss—that the most common food-centric gesture they receive is a dish of pasta. And while it’s hard to find a “meals that show you care” list that avoids carbs entirely, we appreciated NYT Cooking’s “21 Dishes to Make for Someone Going Through a Hard Time” for its thoughtful variety.
If you’re not sure what to make, their list is a great place to start. Choose a recipe that feels right. Make it with care. Drop it off with a note. Whether it’s a full meal or just a warm hello, your effort matters. These small acts of love can become a lifeline—and they’ll be remembered long after the dish is gone.
