Rosie Grant has always been familiar with death. Parents who led ghost tours, coupled with cutting through a cemetery on her route home from high school, helped her feel relatively comfortable with the topic. What she wasn't so familiar with were the recipes that found new life in death. In her new cookbook, "To Die For: A Cookbook of Gravestone Recipes," the L.A.-based archivist and social media personality dives into the world of tombstones etched with recipes that the deceased loved in life: a fan-favorite Texas sheet cake from a beautician, snickerdoodle cookies that helped feed California firefighters, guava cobbler that scented a Florida neighborhood. Grant is now sharing these recipes and the stories of those who made them in life.

The expansion was supported by a $10m capital campaign, and is named in recognition of a $3m gift from the Keith Haring Foundation.

"Asian American history is oftentimes invisible, given the population and the history. It's pushed to the margins. That's also reflected in the archives."
