At the table, flavors, knowledge, and ways of being and doing, characteristic of families from the village of Castelo Novo, are served. They open their homes to the street and set up at the table, biographies, memories, and culinary fictions. From the cupboards come objects that tell stories. Nearly secret recipes are revealed and recreated, and intimate rituals of gathering are celebrated at the table.

In these performative dinners, each family prepares at the table unusual moments of sharing, which reveal personal and unique ways of welcoming and making known the heritage of the village.
