We are so so happy to be publishing and printing this work by
“Take Root Eat Root began in September 2018 when Nancy and I started cooking together inspired by the kitchens of Honduras and Malaysia. Over time, our kitchen turned into a universe of its own where I felt nourished in times of heartache, homesickness, and finals. Alongside a celebration of friendship and love, the book reflects on how food from Honduras and Malaysia is tied to colonial botany. Afterall, Honduras and Malaysia were nodes in the same colonial network. This book is a collection of poems and recipes that speak to the long journey of learning how to cook and learning how colonial infrastructure is mirrored in our food today.” - Semine
We are celebrating the book this Saturday from 16-18:00
Semine will serve tea and tapioca cake, a recipe from the book, until there is no more :)
