About this Event
For thousands of years, the eastern Mediterranean has stood as a meeting point between East and West, bringing cultures and cuisines through trade, commerce, and migration. Traveling by boat and land, Yasmin Khan traces the ingredients that have spread through the region from the time of Ottoman rule to the influence of recent refugee communities. Ripe Figs is a dazzling collection of recipes and stories that celebrate an ever-diversifying region and imagine a world without borders.
We will be meeting in the meeting room of the PCI Branch. Please bring your own plates, cutlery, and drinks. There's a copy of the book at the Reference Desk of the PCI branch if you'd like to stop by to browse it in order to choose your recipe.
