Repost: Humanities Forum: Karla T. Vasquez

Karla Tatiana Vasquez, food writer, recipe developer, and food stylist

In conversation with Krystal C. Mack, food designer and artist

In 2015, first-generation Salvadoran American, Karla T. Vasquez, began an online project to document recipes like the ones her mother made during her childhood. Over time, the project grew to include not only recipes, but also stories from the women who created them, offering a portrait of life for Salvadoran women both before the civil war and after their arrival in the United States. Vasquez will discuss The SalviSoul Cookbook and her efforts to preserve the food and stories of Salvadoran moms, aunts, grandmothers, and friends.
