A beautiful cook book with personal narratives from battered women who have found shelter in the SHIELD OF ATHENA has recently been published with the proceeds going towards the new shelter in Laval that is currently under construction.
The
book comprises recipes from women of many origins who have been the victims of
domestic violence. Their journey, from being battered to attaining their
freedom, is a worthy read and the recipes from their countries of origin and
are truly interesting.

from
survivors of intimate partner violence.
SOPHIE GRÉGOIRE
TRUDEAU opens The Shield’s
cookbook with a forward dedicated to the women of Athena’s House, in
recognition of their inspirational journey towards a life free of
violence.
“Throughout history,
the kitchen has been a friendly and joyful place to gather and to share our
stories and our sorrows. But if our potential and talent is to continue to
spread in different spheres of society over time, the work for equity and
social justice must continue.” Sophie Grégoire Trudeau
Available in both
English and French, the Shield of Athena’s cookbook offers readers an insight
on the women who have stayed at our shelter, Athena’s House, and
their journey towards a life free of violence.
The book is comprised
of 34 recipes of
appetizers, main dishes and desserts. Twenty different countries are
represented! Amongst these delicacies, the reader will be inspired by the
women’s stories as they share their struggles and their triumphs.
These recipes were
shared during our therapeutic cooking activities and helped foster a sense of
normalcy and safety to the participants.
We dedicate this book to the women of Athena’s
house and to the universal language of food that transcends our differences and
connects us all.
