The Jackfruit Chronicles

Memories and Recipes from a British-Bangladeshi Kitchen

Beschreibung

From award-winning food writer and novelist Shahnaz Ahsan comes a heartfelt memoir: The Jackfruit Chronicles. With insight and love, Ahsan guides us through the vibrant flavours and captivating story of Bengali food and its place in Britain. Beginning with the arrival of her grandfather, Habib, in Manchester in the 1950s, this is a spellbinding journey not just through one family story, but also the broader tale of the Bangladeshi diaspora's quest for a new life in Britain. Ahsan beautifully weaves together this narrative of migration and hope with treasured family recipes, including dishes like sour tomato broth, jackfruit kofta curry, lentil fritters, fish with clementine peels and much more. The Jackfruit Chronicles is a moving exploration of family, food and what it means to belong.
