Cultural Food Traditions Project
Exploring cultural food traditions and food’s connection to one’s land and community.
Celebrating and honoring migration and its importance in the food system.
Highlighting diversity in our food producers and providers.
Nourishing our bellies and minds
Slow Food East Bay’s Cultural Food Traditions project was a series of eleven gathering in thirteen months celebrating how immigrants, refugees and displaced people contribute to the food system. Each dinner highlights a chefs cooking there authentic cuisines and telling the story of their resettling in the US, and is joined by a local nonprofit that works with recent arrivals, helping with housing, language skills and economic opportunities.
The Project aims to connect delicious food to the greater conversations around immigration and both forced and by choice migration of peoples throughout the world. We believe it is your responsibility to support policies that support the people that support our food system!
