The postcolonial world has been greatly influenced by food images and the usage of food as a metaphor. Recent interest in culinary studies has opened doors in literary studies to examine the usage of food symbols and metaphors to represent more complex ideas and deeper meanings in literature. This book lays out how Indo-American author Bharti Kirchner employs postcolonial culinary perspective to bring out newer meanings of migration, emancipation and identity formation. The book also annexes a personal interview with the author Bharti Kirchner. The personal perspectives that she shares in her interview lends this book a fine clarity.
