The Office of International Services asked our international community to submit their favorite harvest recipe and tell us about harvest festivals celebrated in their culture or country of origin.

While you're staying safe and social distancing, it's a great time to try new recipes! Why not try Pongal Sweet Dish from Pongal, a Tamil harvest festival of South India; Sarson ka Saag from Lohri, a festival to mark the end of the winter solstice in Punjab (North India); or home style Okonomiyaki, a Japanese savory pancake to celebrate the Onbashira Festival in Suwa, Japan.
