A Global Feast: Traditional meals in a new homeland

More than a recipe book, this colorful collection arose from a unique community project and explores the dishes and food lore of people who have migrated to New Zealand from Asia, Africa, the Pacific, South America, Europe, and the Middle East. Each migrant's story is followed by a selection of their favorite recipes, carefully chosen to make a meal and to reflect the distinctive flavors, textures, and traditions of their inherited food cultures. Over 100 tested recipes have been adapted for use with locally available ingredients. In presenting their recipes, each 'new New Zealander' reflects on their ethnic heritage and identity in relation to the food traditions of their country of birth, including preparation methods, rituals, and celebrations. Beautifully presented, the book inspires new ways of thinking about food, and it encourages an appreciation of the richness of our diverse communities.
