This book expands our understanding of the correlation of home, mobility and food. It explores the way in which migrants adapt their national food types to overseas tastes and conditions, and the place home and food play in the dietary habits of the other and the dispossessed. Taking readers on a global journey it is a book which informs and entertains on a number of levels.
