A Decade of UnLocal: Stories and Recipes from our Communities
2022-12-02 16:00
In honor of our ten year anniversary, we are publishing A Decade of UnLocal: Stories and Recipes from our Community.
This book, full of recipes, stories, poetry, and art highlights the many talents and accomplishments of our community and captures our community and history over the past decade.
“As a child, my parents and grandparents cooked us dishes like paprikash krumpli verslivel, paprikash cherka, and krumplileves. The oil from the chicken and the bright red of the paprika would puddle on my plate in tiny bubbles, where I’d splash the salty potatoes. Before she passed away, we tried to save my grandmother’s recipes- goulash, spaetzle and Zserbo. To this day, the smells and tastes of this food remind me of our kitchen at 28 Cypress Place, as if dinner is still there waiting.” – Michele Lampach, UnLocal Founder, Foreword
All those who donate $250 or more to our Ten Year Anniversary campaign will receive their copy of the book in December.

The UnLocal Theater Circle prioritizes undocumented folx or anyone who has lived that experience and concentrates on narratives of joy, pleasure, and humor. We are reinventing the ways we keep each other safe by controlling the stories we tell and uplift.
