San Mateo County Libraries invites you to meet Jill Damatac--writer, filmmaker and author of the powerful new memoir Dirty Kitchen.
Join us at Foster City Library on Saturday, January 31, from 3-4 PM for an author talk where Jill shares the stories behind her book, followed by an audience Q&A and book signing. Attendees at this event will have an opportunity to receive a free copy of Dirty Kitchen at the door, while supplies last. Giveaway copies are limited and offered on a first-come, first-served basis.
Following in the footsteps of wildly popular food memoirs like Crying in H Mart comes DIRTY KITCHEN: A Memoir of Food and Family. In this unflinching book, Jill revisits the outdoor "dirty kitchen" she grew up with in the Philippines-- a space full of heat, smoke, laughter and truth. Through food, memory and lived experience, she reflects on:
Complex layers of migration
Growing up undocumented in the U.S.
Family resilience across distance and uncertainty
The lasting imprint of colonial history
How cooking can become a way to reclaim identity and home
Her storytelling is vivid, honest and deeply rooted in Filipino traditions and the complexity of migration.
