Stories & Recipes Book
The Latinx Foodways project led to the design and production of a book featuring stories and recipes collected by students in the Fall 2021 ECJ course and Latino Cultural Center interns. The stories and recipes capture connections between food traditions & cultural identity with food & land justice, in/migration, labor, health & COVID-19, and environmental/climate justice.
The Stories & Recipes Book is available here in Spanish and English.
