At the Immigrant's Table: About Me

At The Immigrant's Table (ATIT) is a food and travel blog documenting immigrant journeys through travel guides and stories and family recipes. ATIT focuses on international immigrant recipes, adapted to suit modern food sensitivities.

Who am I?

My name is Ksenia Prints and I am a food blogger and photographer. I love to create unique recipes and capture captivating images of homemade fresh food and products. I also thrive on bringing people together through food - in virtual workshops or in person.

I am a mother to junior immigrant Leo and wife to F., who prefers to remain behind the scenes - but you can bet he helps me out by tasting, advising, assembling tripods and too many things to count.

See the answers to some of your most burning questions in my FAQ.

Let's see how we can work together to bring your brand to the Immigrant's Table!

Why is this blog called At the Immigrant's Table?

I am the daughter of immigrants, an immigrant myself, and married to another immigrant. My journey has taken me from the former USSR, to Israel, and now all the way to Montreal, Canada (through Winnipeg, to boot!).

Through food, I reconnect with my family's migrant history, adapting it to common dietary restrictions.

I am also an avid traveller who enjoys exploring the world and other cultures through immigrant cuisines.

Suitcases contain many things: clothes, photographs, and housewares. Pieces of ourselves that we drag across borders, reminders of where we come from, or equipment for who we want to be. But our family's kitchen table can't be transported, no matter how big the suitcase is. There is no container large enough in the world to hold the smells, sights, flavours and textures of our homes.

This blog is my attempt at recreating those immigrant kitchen tables.

Why You Should Cook My Recipes?

I'm a long-time cook

I have been cooking since 13 years old, when the one grandmother who could cook in my family moved out, and my mother decided she could no longer cater to our diverse demands.

Check out some of the posts that started it all:

I'm a published author and professional writer

I have over 10 years of professional writing experience, from student publications to the premier's office of Manitoba.
I have published an e-book all about entertaining with ease, Middle Eastern style, featuring 11 mouthwatering and effortless mezze-style small plates.
I am the author of ReOrdered, JDC Entwine's Passover Cookbook, featuring 20 Passover recipes from Jewish cultures all over the world.

I love organizing workshops and events

At 7pm on Feb 7, nearly 40 people braved the frozen temperatures of wintertime in Montreal to celebrate Tu B'Shevat Under the Trees, my first pop-up dinner.

Food is the ultimate connector - and nothing brings people together like a food workshop. Whether in person or in the virtual world, At the Immigrant's Table food workshops and gatherings allow people to connect over a guided, interactive and fun experience.

I was the founder and organizer of the Jewish Food Project, a 3-week, 15-session long Montreal festival all about Jewish food.
I organize and lead workshops and gatherings celebrating immigrant food in Montreal. These days, I offer virtual workshops on a screen near you! Some of the workshops I offer:
