More DescriptionThe persistence of misconceptions about Italian-Canadian food culture raises many questions for us. Are we gluttonous, inebriate and too loud? Do we force-feed guests? Are we in fact food-obsessed? How many grains of truth can a stereotype hold?

And the result is Italian Canadians at Table, a passionate literary feast of poetry and prose.
