Series 2 finale is here. WE can hardly believe it is over. Worth a listen if not just for the acapella intro... themigrationmenu.com/episode/a-swee… Enjoy! pls R/T

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

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 foodanthro.com/2024/08/26/rev…

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‼️

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…

Here it is... Episode 7 of The Migration Menu!! And finally we are eating #SriLankan food themigrationmenu.com/episode/short-…
