Prologue Bookshop will host a discussion with co-editors Philip Tuxbury-Gleissner and Harry Kashdan and Sangeeta Lakhani (contributor) to celebrate their James Beard Award-winning cookbook, Resilient Kitchens: American Immigrant Cooking in a Time of Crisis, Essays and Recipes. The discussion will be moderated by Kelly Gallagher and Jay Hadfield (Department of Slavic and East European Languages and Cultures).
Resilient Kitchens is a stimulating collection of essays about the lives of immigrants in the United States before and during the COVID-19 pandemic, told through the lens of food. It includes a vibrant mix of perspectives — from professional food writers, restaurateurs, scholars and activists — with stories ranging from emotional reflections on hardship, loss and resilience to journalistic investigations of racism in the American food system. Each contribution is accompanied by a recipe of special importance to the author, giving readers a taste of cuisines from around the world. Every essay is accompanied by gorgeous food photography, the authors’ snapshots of pandemic life and hand-drawn illustrations by Filipino American artist Angelo Dolojan.
RSVP for free here.
