In October 2019 we joined forces with TATI to pilot our Food and Memory workshop. While trying out their menu for a catering event, this group of professional cooks shared their memories – and their delicious food – with us. The workshop led to very lively discussions on Partition, Bangladesh and questions of memory and identity – and confirmed the crucial role of food in triggering personal, family and community memories.
“This dish, well it’s a combination of our identity, our British heritage roast veg and vegetarian I have to say, then little bit of Bengali touch too, chapati I would say is Asian, everybody in India Asia has it so, I don’t want to claim it ”
