- Description
- This book uniquely combines memoir, political commentary, and recipes. Madhushree Ghosh's narrative begins with her early life as an Eastern Bengali refugee in New Delhi and culminates in her current role as a scientist and vice president of a global biotech firm in San Diego. Viewing food as a powerful memory trigger that "makes us believe we’re still part of the land we left", Ghosh masterfully interweaves culinary descriptions with an intriguing exploration of culture, identity, and personal trials.
