'These are stories of the everyday. About everyday people. Not everyday 'boat people', not everyday 'asylum seekers', not even everyday 'immigrants' or 'refugees' - just everyday 'people'. This book is a collection of extraordinary voices - the tales of people who have sought refuge in Australia and of the common links we all share through food. Connected to these stories are recipes from places far and wide that stir the memory pot, inspiring recollections of journeys made and borders crossed in search of a better life.'
