Commissioned by Hancher/The University of Iowa, Center Stage Series / Luther College, and Grinnell College.

When a young man tells his sister he has been hired to work on a farm in faraway Iowa, she insists he take a longstanding family recipe with him. When she realizes he has left it behind, she embarks on an epic journey across the state—finding foreclosed farms, meat-packing plants, and more along the way—to search for her wayward brother.

A play with music and dance, performed in an historic barn, All Recipes Are Home will incorporate interviews with Iowa farmers and other experts to tell a universal story grounded in Iowa. All Recipes Are Home is the fifth full-length play Hancher has commissioned by Working Group Theatre, which is based in Iowa City.
