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.

CULTIVATING COMPASSION:
The Migration Menu podcast features London Buddhist Vihara, the iconic Sri Lankan temple in Chiswick.
The offering of food as Dhana, is a daily act of devotion, which serves to cultivate generosity & compassion.🇱🇰🇬🇧☸️@migration_menu https://t.co/vE0KwpBlhV

It was our pleasure to have you on the show and to hear about the valuable work you are doing across communities in London!

[Debbie Weekes-Bernard @debs_wb]

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

My take on a new translation of a book on Dalit cooking from Marathwada, India

It will be in three parts. This is the first one.

Thanks to Prof. Vandana Swamy and Prof. Ishita Dey in helping me navigate the related literature

A one woman army! Our latest podcast drops today, so listen in and join our lunch with the London Food Company — link in bio! @LAHeslop @UKSAsia_Network @BrunelPolicy #migration #food

Hungry for more? The next episodfe of The Migration Menu will be dropping🫳 tomorrow! And this week we are eating Sri Lankan🇱🇰, at Yako‼️

[Krishnendu Ray @Raykris1]

Shahu Patole’s Dalit (mostly Mahar and Mang) cooking from Marathwada has set me thinking. There are at least 22,000 cuisines in India — that is the # of dialects reported in the census — which is linked to landscape. That gives us a sketch of the sociogeography of Indian food…

[Luke Heslop @LAHeslop]

Here it is... Episode 7 of The Migration Menu!! And finally we are eating #SriLankan food https://t.co/Gpee9SdZ7a
