On Food in Diaspora with Reem Assil

Kitchen Meditations with Kendall Vanderslice

Join us as we speak with chef Reem Assil about food and the diaspora. We reflect on questions like: What is home for people of the diaspora? How can food traditions shape our families and ourselves? What can we learn from Arab hospitality practices?

Reem Assil is a baker, community organizer, and founder of the Bay Area restaurant group Reems California. She’s the author of the recently released cookbook “Arabiyya: Recipes from the Life of an Arab in Diaspora.”This conversation is so rich and a must-listen for anyone interested in how our food, home, and culture shape our lives. Listen in.
