Transcending Cultural Borders through Food

“In my eyes, the food acted as the tool that broke down a social and cultural barrier, and in the end we were all just people who were sharing our histories with one another over good food, regardless of where in the world we came from. . . . the magic ingredient that made the meal so mouth-watering was the affectionate place it came from — the heart and soul.”

“Being able to sit around a table to share food with people, no matter where they come from, brings with it a defiance of one’s own cultural perceptions. It also brings a certain level of intimacy. But most importantly, the food we eat with others becomes the symbol of simple humanity and hospitality that brings people together.”
