“These essays—by an all-star lineup of writers . . . are concrete
and eye-opening, touching on how food affects (and is affected by)
migration, immigration, war, flight, history, and home.”
—The New Yorker, The Best Food Books of 2018
“You and I Eat the Same . . . will engross you, open up your mind,
and inspire a feeling of interconnectedness.”

“An impressive collection of essays and stories about how food
connects people across political lines and cultural borders. . . .

“A welcome message.”
—Boston Globe, The Best Cookbooks of 2018
“This collection of 18 thought-provoking essays and stories . . .

of immigration in a global food community. It’s a lovely way to
discover how international the love of fried chicken really is, and
the value in getting out of your comfort zone.”
—Plate, The Year’s Best Books About Food and Restaurants

delivering a simple message: Humanity is on top of its game when
it’s inclusive, and exhibit A is our culinary history.”

—NewWorlder.com, Essential Reading

eat and how is not only an expression of our identity, but it can
