Recipes Across the Generations

Favorite recipes & family stories from the ICA of Central Texas

This cookbook was lovingly put together by the youth of our community: recipe hunters, interviewers, editors, proofreaders, and layout designers, collecting the dishes and stories that ICA families have passed down through the generations. From breakfast snacks to festive kuswar, every page is a taste of home.

What's inside

Ninety-five pages of family favorites, organized into seven sections:

  • Breakfast & Snacks
  • Condiments & Salads
  • Rice & Breads
  • Vegetables & Dals
  • Mains
  • Desserts
  • Kuswar

The cooks behind the book

Made by our youth team — Jeremiah, Adam, Mark, Nicolai, Gabriella, Laina, Kira, Lexa, Ryan, Sophia, Anna, Lara, and Jay — led by Melissa Sacrafamilia and Ramona Kar, summer 2026. With grateful thanks to Myra D'Souza, whose generous gift of time and expertise made this book possible.

"To serve, open any page, pick a recipe, and cook it with someone you love. Then pass it on."
