About this deal

And this is resolutely not about fusion, or a kind of self-conscious East-meets-West strategy: it’s about a sensibility and an identity, which authenticity demands be ever present in the food that comes from both. I always appreciate Deb’s flexibility in her recipes, and enjoy reading the comments and tweaks from readers. Reading Lutheran Church Basement Women, I grazed once more amid those long-ago, forgettable meals: a table set not for celebration but for utility, forlorn with plastic linen-textured mats, tarnished Danish silverware, odds-and-ends plates. Two days ago, I picked up a copy of Janet Letnes Martin and Allen Todnem's Lutheran Church Basement Women, which as its title suggests is a compendium of Lutheran church women's recipes. but I love to brown it in a pan on both sides for some added texture and to ensure the cheese gets melty.

I brought her leeks and kohlrabi and mustard and basil and chard, dried fish in translucent slabs stiff as sleeve board, fish flukes flopping wet from soaked paper sacks. Food is a living form of culture that evolves: its boundaries are fluid, blurred, porous and dynamic. I can only imagine the amazing delicacies that await the French family from the hands of a Korean-American.Added chopped cilantro and omitted cotija bc I thought I had it in the fridge (I didn’t) but otherwise, aside from adding the spices loosey goosey, followed the recipe pretty closely. And as I chewed down my football-sized wrap that was 80% rice, 15% beans, 5% salsa and cheese, my old resentment came back in full force. From curried roast chicken to Punjabi-spiced fishcakes with Chinese smashed cucumber, Gurdeep Loyal isn’t afraid of remixing recipes.

These are the recipes of Lutheran women from the upper Midwest, which is to say mostly Swedish, Norwegian and German Lutherans. Though I was immersed six days a week in a classic French culinary world learning technique and trying to stay out of yelling range of the chefs, the dishes I made for the family were those I’d been making forever. I used a red bell pepper and instead of a jalapeno or habanero pepper, I used a Poblano (less spicy).I made millet chili and Asian-style tofu soup with fresh greens, bready pizza covered in melted onions and tomatoes, salads rife with chickpeas and root vegetables. She stopped cooking the demoralizing meals I remembered from childhood, and I in turn stopped remembering them. Growing up, I’ve always been very close to my grandparents (particularly my grandmother) and family – they taught me a lot about my North-Indian roots through the Punjabi culture, language and home-cooking. When writing about 'wisdom' and knowledge passed down, the content will be subjective to my experiences.

I didn't think about my mother's cooking at all as I married, gave birth to my daughter, fed her shrimp and jam and tofu and Friday night quiches with wild mushrooms. Although dadima’s literally means grandmother’s – the brand represents sharing wisdom and connecting generations.

We were a family who were very adventurous in terms of what we ate, and being from Leicester – which is a multi-ethnic city in itself, we used to eat Caribbean takeaways all the time,” he remembers.
