Amazeballs. Please, @BBCFood listen to Uncle Roger. When he holds his head in frustration, he is speaking on behalf of all of us. 🤣

This story is about food, identity & how each feeds the other. In a series of vignettes/reflections on @letscookingbook’s relationship w/ family, culture, food & recipes, she explores the bitter-sweetness of an identity that is defined by being in-between

dear @bonappetit:

i am a massive fan of your video content. your team has near single-handedly rekindled my love of cooking. however, until Adam Rapoport resigns, and you begin paying BIPOC editors properly, including the incredible Sohla El-Waylly, i won’t be watching.

@raymondsbrain What an amazing idea. I'm so glad I'm not mushy peas...

@davidchang My mom (japanese) https://t.co/eY4uOWkUtF call MSG 'accent' when I was a kid and she was teaching me how to cook. I'm guessing that's where this name came from? (Japan, not my mom...)

I just contributed to MOFAD's African/American food exhibition. You should, too, if you want to support the work they do to explore how Food Is Culture. Only a few days left on their campaign! https://t.co/j4uZRDyl3J

@HotThaiKitchen Ummm... Because peaches have a totally different taste? This is like choosing between blackberries and raspberries. They are two different things!

Day 7 of #7favouritecookbooks is not a cookbook as much as a pledge to connect rather than divide. I choose #youandIeatthesame edited by @chrisyingz for #immigrantheritagemonth

[Hana Etsuko @letscookingbook]

#7FavouriteCookbooks day 6 is another solid Japanese cookbook - The Japanese Grill. I heartily recoy the Japanese style baby back ribs recipe! #japanesefood #bbq #cookbook #recipe

Day 5 of #7favouritecookbooks is the Shueisha cooking Encyclopedia - I love the pull-out cheat sheet of sauces, soups, and dressings. So well-organized, including a conversion chart. Plus it's waterproof, so it survives my kitchen! #cookbooks #design #japanesefood

Day 4 of #7favouritecookbooks - @hotthaikitchen 's eponymous book is a fave for so many reasons, but the top two are: 1. It actually *teaches* you the basics of Thai food 2. It was written and produced by my lovely friend Pailin #cookbook #thaifood #food

Day 3 of the #7favouritecookbooks challenge from @jlinford : Asian-American by @daletalde - the first cookbook I saw that actively represented the food of an immigrant family and what that looks like now for the next generation.

#7favouritecookbooks Day 2: Hiroko's American Kitchen by @hirokoshimbo - just one of her excellent titles. In this one, she introduces 6 sauces that can each be used in a variety of ways. Her method of introducing Japanese ingredients and techniques to a western kitchen! 👌👌

#7favouritecookbooks Day 2: Hiroko's American Kitchen by @HirokoShimbo - again, just one of her excellent titles. In this one, she introduces 6 sauces that can each be used in a variety of ways. Her method of introducing Japanese ingredients and techniques to a western kitchen.
