We talk about food, family, and what it means to belong to such a small diaspora; we explore the gender politics of supper clubs, Indian Ocean trading histories, and the deep #SriLankan influences that shape Maldivian cooking today. themigrationmenu.com @laheslop

Was a pleasure to explore the link between food, migration & diverse communities with @migration_menu. We reflected on the role food plays in keeping people connected to their heritage, the way it brings people together & helps us learn about each other themigrationmenu.com/episode…

Brilliant evening celebrating #SouthAsianHeritageMonth at @Pitzhanger - bringing South Asia’s rich identity to life through dance, art and food. Grateful for a warm discussion with @migration_menu & Sohini Banerjee about food and identity and how it brings communities together.

It has been so nice to hear such great feedback on Episode 5🎉 of The Migration Menu! - themigrationmenu.com/episode… I am addicted to the Acast Insights which let us know where the show is popular. On that note - big up our loyal listeners in Port Harcourt and Katsina, #Nigeria.
