②Book Talk Tuesday: Katherine Tamiko Arguile ‘Meshi’

For Katherine Tamiko Arguile, the Japanese food her mother cooked was a portal to a part of her that sometimes felt lost in the past. In Japan, food is never just food: it expresses a complex and fascinating history, and is tied to tradition and spirituality intrinsic to Japanese culture.

Exploring the meals of her childfood through Japan’s twenty four sekki (seasons), Katherine untangles the threads of meaning, memory and ritual woven through ever glistening bowl of rice, every tender slice of sashimi and each steaming cup of green tea.
