What links food and memory? Can an herb, a spice, or a fruit be an archive of history? How does food divide us as well as unite us? Inspired by a phrase from Ligaya Mishan’s New York Times review of a Cambodian restaurant: “it turns out that people want this: good food, thoughtfully made, that tastes of memory,” this evening of readings features Crystal Hana Kim, Eve J. Chung, Abeer Hoque, Kuhu Joshi, Vasvi Kejriwal, and Sumaiya Aftab Ahmed with guest of honor Ligaya Mishan. Presented by: Astoria Bookshop.
