Sumario:The alimentary practices of the population in general and of the migrants in particular, have both nutritional and sociocultural incidences, given that they contribute to nutrition as well as to the formation of bonds and social support necessary for the maintenance of life. The diversity of meanings attributed to food and feeding practices (acquisition, preparation, distribution, consumption) often reveals a communication gap between migrants and health teams that, in general, are not trained for an adequate attention of intercultural character. The objective of this work is to characterize some modalities of cooking and commensality among women from Paraguay, Bolivia and Peru (the main current migratory flows in the country), residents in the city of Buenos Aires. The purpose is to contribute to the construction of health care practices that recognize the plurality and dynamism of identities, at the same time, that address social and health inequities.
