06 Jan / The Migrant’s Table: Meals and Memories in Bengali-American Households by Krishnendu Ray [in AsianWeek]
A hybrid if I ever saw one: At the heart of the book is a sociological look at how food and ethnicity intersect in the immigrant world (think how our APA holiday tables might differ from your non-Asian neighbors’, for example). But it also includes personal stories, menus, and even a few recipes that will make your kitchen smell distinctly South Asian. I’m ready to eat!
