The Malta Community Chest Fund has launched the 2017 edition of the book 'Tisjir mill-Qalb'.

The publication will this year feature Maltese chefs who sought a future far from Malta..

The contributors to this edition experienced life far from Malta at some point in their lives, a statement read.

Chairman of the Malta Community Chest Fund Foundation John Camilleri thanked those present for the launch as well as the sponsors who each year help this book become a success.

The book will be sold from the Malta Community Chest Fund offices in Valletta, at San Anton Palace, online at the MCCF store, and a number of book shops.

President Marie-Louise Coleiro Preca will visit the book festival today, where she will sign new copies of this book at the Agenda Bookshop stand.
