Margaret's award winning paper was based on her thesis research on Ukrainian-Canadian recipes and foodways in Saskatchewan. The chapter discusses how cooking is an embodied practice, and so even when people are preparing recipes that important to their families or communities, they adapt them to suit their personal contexts.

The Graduate Student Paper award was created in 2011 to recognize scholarly excellence and encourage participation in CAFS by undergrad and grad students. The award includes a $200 prize, a one-year CAFS membership, complimentary conference registration, and a banquet ticket for the CAFS conference.

Margaret DeCoste grew up in Saskatchewan and received her BA in English and Anthropology from the University of Western Ontario. She is currently pursuing her MA in Sociocultural Anthropology at the º£½ÇÉçÇø, with Dr. Helen Vallianatos as her supervisor. Her thesis focuses on Ukrainian-Canadian cooking and recipe sharing practices as means of identity creation in Saskatchewan.

Congratulations Maggie!
