Dalla Valigia alla Tavola: A Journey Through Molisan Culinary Heritage is a collection of over 40 recipes as told through the stories and memories of community members. Over 30 first, second, and third generation Molisan home cooks in Quebec give a taste of traditional family recipes from their ancestral hometowns. By virtue of these recipes, readers are invited to journey through 21 different paesi (towns), learning about the stories and traditions beyond the plate. Discover the feasts that follow each season and the memorable moments that each ingredient marks, while engaging with stories of migration and adaptation, as dishes are passed on, re-measured, and reinterpreted across generations.

More than a cookbook, Dalla Valigia alla Tavola documents how the food we eat is intrinsically linked to identity, as individuals and as a community.
