I admire the way in which Riana Austin, as a feminist writer, skilfully and respectfully weaves these personal stories into their wider context, with mouth watering descriptions alongside hard hitting political commentary . Her choice to ´focus on the light’ is an inspirational one.
An amazing article about these two amazing women using their baking skills to celebrate the richness of their food culture and as a way to resist the oppression of their homeland.
This is such a good article. I haven't read about food before -with the context of the makers and stories of so much more than food that goes into the businesses. A really great read. So much passion in the writing and the bakers.
