Soomaaliya: Food, Memory, and Migration
A conversation with Ifrah F. Ahmed
In Soomaaliya, New York Times contributor Ifrah Ahmed tells the story of Somalia through its history, food and people, tracing how spices and flavours carry the marks of centuries of movement and exchange. The cookbook becomes something larger than a collection of recipes. Through food, it tells a story of journeys across the Indian Ocean, of family histories, of traditions preserved and transformed, and of the many ways people remain connected to a place.
