The Memory of Taste: Vietnamese American Recipes from Phú Quôc, Oakland, and the Spaces Between.
No cookbook is apolitical, but this one has a spine holding it together with unapologetically political narratives. It gleefully complicates stereotypes and rearranges both recipes and beliefs. It’s a cookbook of stories and essays to read and learn from, and recipes to cook from. It will feed your soul and your stomach.
Soleil Ho, the co-author did a fundraising raffle for Crips for eSIMs for Gaza organized by Jane Shi, Alice Wong, and Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha, to mark the publication of the cookbook. I made another donation to this really important mutual aid project, which has raised over $1 million Canadian dollars. To my surprise (I do not win things) I won the raffle.
The day the cookbook arrived I was wearing my “Free Palestine: From the River to The Sea” shirt. It’s another mutual aid fundraiser led by the indomitable artist and activist Stephanie Shih. When I opened the book to the first page that Soleil had inscribed with “From the River to the Sea” I remembered that mutual aid is what will free us all, in the end. All our efforts are connected, my drop joins all the others to create a sea-swell of resistance and liberation. My freedom is inextricably entwined with yours.
