February 2020 Covid strikes. Suddenly the world is a different place. Chaos and fear ensued at the start of the pandemic; markets for seafood shut down overnight, no one knew what the virus was or what would happen next. Then a bright spot: Small Boats, Big Taste. An upcoming 30-minute documentary at The Chatham Orpheum tells the story of how Cape Cod Commercial Fishermen’s Alliance, supported by fishermen and community partners, launched a program
that kept local, independent fishermen on the water and provided a nutritious, delicious meal to a growing number of people in need. Five years on, Small Boats, Big Taste has produced more than 1.5 million servings of haddock and clam chowder and Provencal Fish Stew and injected $1.7 million into the seafood economy, $2.4 million into related businesses, continuing to help small boat fishermen while fighting food insecurity. On May 29 at 5 p.m. the Chatham Orpheum will have a special, free, showing of “Small Boats, Big Taste: How a Community Combatted Covid,” complete with a Q and A and panel discussion as well as tastings of the chowders and stew, To get on the list, click here.

Marcella Hazan changed how we cook and experience Italian food. A disabled woman trained as a scientist, Marcella never cooked until she immigrated to America. But through her cookbooks and teaching -- and an uncompromising commitment to Italian tradition -- her impact was felt in millions of American home kitchens. A new film tells her extraordinary, improbable, delicious story.
