Friends and food
Many of my friends come from various backgrounds and ethnicities and have helped to widen my view of food, culture, and tradition through their unique experiences and stories. Below are some of their favorite dishes, as well as insight into how these foods have shaped their life. It inspires me to continue to appreciate my own ethnicity and culture, and to view food as more than just fuel.
Food is so unique in its way of bringing people together and creating traditions. Throughout my lifetime, I have been fortunate enough to experience so many cultures by living in India, as well as on both coasts of the U.S. (in both suburban and city lifestyles). I hope to continue experiencing the melting pot of cultures in NYC through food this coming year.
