Deuses na Borda do Mundo, by Susana Rosa, published by Araucária Edições, is a book of ingredients, stories, and recipes that recreates a world where family culinary memories intersect with literary writing, evoking the island experience of São Jorge.

The book launch offers a moment to share and pass on knowledge through food and storytelling. The author prepares pork cracklings according to her family’s recipe, while yams and sweet potatoes are also cooked, creating a convivial atmosphere where the act of cooking accompanies the presentation of the book and the stories it contains.

The audience is invited to actively participate by sharing recipes and stories — from this island, other islands, and places that are not islands — in a gathering where writing and cooking intertwine as forms of transmission and belonging.
