Product Description
by Seemab Zahra (Author)
When Seemab Zahra's Maternal Grandmother, Nani, died in 2021 due to COVID-19, it was challenging to process those emotions while in Canada and not being able to travel to Pakistan to pay her last respects. Around the same time, Seemab received news of being awarded the Pat The Dog Theatre Creation Micro-grant for Artists in Waterloo Region 2020. Seemab decided to create a project through which she could celebrate her late grandmother. And so the idea of Savoury Reminiscence was born. A recipe book that combines the writer's love for food photography and her Nani's love for cooking and sharing family recipes.
Savoury Reminiscence is a recipe book that celebrates the writer, Seemab Zahra's cultural, culinary, and poetic roots. It is an insight into her South Asian heritage, traditions, attires, recipes, photography, her connections with the cities she has lived in, and her relationships with the women in her family, especially with her Nani.
