Chickpeas to Cook and Other Stories

Culinary tales intertwining life, love, and legumes.

If you have a penchant for stories that blend the flavors of life with the literal taste of food, then "Chickpeas to Cook and Other Stories" could be a delightful read for you. The book's charm lies in its ability to merge culinary narratives with the intricate aspects of human experiences, akin to a well-seasoned dish that pleases both palate and soul.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Stories about women of Singapore—exiles and dreamers, lovers and seekers of the path. Chickpeas to Cook is the story of the women of the tribe, from some of the smallest communities in Singapore, often no more than a few hundred families. How does a Dawoodi Bohra woman respond when she's asked if her daughter will don the ridah after marriage? When does a Sikh woman decide it's time to come out of her brother's shadow and live for herself? What does a Eurasian woman do when her DNA report arrives and it doesn’t quite tally with what her parents told her? What does a Zoroastrian woman tell the author about bridges and confluences as she navigates a difficult period of introspection?
