Dale! The Diasporican Cookbook

Illyanna Maisonet's cookbook Diasporican
Literanista December 11, 2022

Illyanna Maisonet is an amazing writer. I’ve followed her online and read her deeply personal newsletter for years. As a Nuyorican, a daughter, a writer, her words not only move me but also give me a sense of pride, of focus and of solace.

Her cookbook is like her, phenomenal, and makes a perfect gift – one that will be prized for years to come!
