The Arlington Table

Food is one of the primary ways that we discern and identify with culture. It is an essential form of creative expression, with recipes and traditions passed down from family member to family member, as important as oral histories in capturing what is valuable to us as human beings. Kim is the primary writer and editor of The Arlington Table: A Celebration of Food, Family, and Community (forthcoming from The History Press), that will tell the story of the many local, regional, and international cuisines that help make Arlington, Virginia, the diverse and vibrant community that it is. 

The book will feature people ranging from home cooks working from handed-down family recipes to the restaurant owners, chefs, and line cooks who populate our local dining scene. This work is made possible through a generous grant from Arlington Arts.
