FOOD STORIES

Food and Memory. Food and Faith.

Food is intimately tied with identity, home, memory and well-being. We may each have acquired global preferences in other parts of our lives, but take food away and you have the skeltel remains of the global sophisticates that we may have become.

Comfort Food

A Japanese chef once told me that after an evening creating the most wonderful dishes for his patrons, he goes home and eats boiled rice. These are the things that we grew up with, the proverbial chicken soup that nourishes our soul, in this life.

Food & Memory

When you become an expatriate, you reach back your old country for three culinary things: comfort, essence and personal preferences. Curd rice isn’t particularly flavorful if you eat it for the first time, but it is comfort food for a south Indian.
