Binding Agents Presents: Kiera Wright-Ruiz [MY (HALF) LATINX KITCHEN] with G. Daniela Galarza
Join Binding Agents for an evening with Kiera Wright-Ruiz, coming all the way from Tokyo to celebrate the release of her fantastic new book, My (Half) Latinx Kitchen. She will be joined in conversation by G. Daniela Galarza of The Washington Post.
This cookbook is the story of Kiera’s journey to embrace her identity and all her cultures: Latinx, Asian, and American. It’s a celebration of Latin American food in all its vibrant, flavorful glory, and a love letter to the diaspora. From Ecuador to South Florida, Mexico to Cuba, the recipes in this book are as diverse and unique as the cultures themselves. Kiera also weaves in charming personal essays to accompany the recipes—from the story of how tamale soup helped bring her family together again after being separated in foster care, to their tradition of bringing visiting relatives from Mexico to what she considers the most American place: Medieval Times.
The talk will be held at Binding Agents (908 Christian St.) and followed by a signing.
Date: February 18, 2025 6:30 PM-8:00 PM
Location: Binding Agents: A Cookbook Shop | 908 Christian St., Philadelphia, PA 19147
Admission:
Tickets available with a copy of the book ($40) or without ($10) via the event page.
