Overview
Juliana will document the Filipino food potluck dinner she created with other Filipinos in the diaspora living in Philadelphia. Juliana will interview each member of the group, and then write essays about them and how the potluck came to be. These essays will be included in a cookbook featuring one recipe from each of the potluck members, which will be available via hardcopy and online. The project will culminate with a larger potluck open to the group's friends and family, where Juliana will share her findings, lead a discussion, and read from the cookbook.
