Hello! Have You Eaten?

by Amanda Choy
Hello! Have You Eaten?
Hello! Have You Eaten?

Food as a medium for love, legacy, and connection.

For anyone who sees meals as more than just sustenance, "Hello! Have You Eaten?" feels like a warm invitation to a family gathering. Amanda Choy weaves personal anecdotes with the universal language of food, creating a tapestry that highlights the role of cuisine in fostering relationships and preserving memories. It's like sitting down for a meal with good friends; the stories are as nourishing as the dishes they describe.

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

This journey invites you to slow down and pause for a moment to reflect on the purpose of food and eating. To me, food is a catalyst for human connection. Memories of my late grandpa buying delectable food for my mother, and my observations of my late grandma cooking in the kitchen, are memories forever etched in my heart. These stories are connected to me and will be passed on as legacies in their own right. This journey is less about the food per se and more about the togetherness, bonding, and love that follows. What is the joy of a sumptuous feast in front of me if there is no one to share it with? Eating in Asia means long round-table conversations, endless laughter, and casual debates on the best food joints. These never cease. From brunch to afternoon tea, one chat leads to dessert after a hearty dinner. Live to eat, we say.
