Chef Silvia Baldini of Strawberry & Sage has released a wonderful new E-cookbook, “Room at the Table; Recipes from the Heart.” The cookbook is a collection of family recipes donated by ‘New Canaan Democrats’ members, friends, community leaders, and legislators. It’s a cookbook about the joy and benefits of sharing delicious meals with others. It is also about building a bigger table that welcomes and includes our friends and neighbors, embraces our diversities, and celebrates our expansive attitudes and values of compassion and care for everyone.

Contributors to the project include: Senator Kamala Harris—vice-presidential candidate, Chef Marcus Samuelsson— award-winning chef, restaurateur, cookbook author, philanthropist and food activist, judge on Chopped, Gloria Steinem— Activist, author, Feminist…and oh so many more.

 “Our Unity is Our Strength. Our Diversity is Our Power. 

― Kamala Harris

This is a multicultural cookbook inadvertently, with clear influences from all corners of the world simply because that’s who we are. Each recipe is the thread of memories woven through the years into a fabric of treasured times with family, and traditions that we all carry in our hearts.

This book started as a community project and it has grown across many borders and the hearts of kind humans that believe our beautiful country deserves better. We are hoping to include as many food people, politicians and activists as we can.
