'An important and overdue story of a community served with a side helping of delicious and precious family memories. I devoured it.' Mallika Basu 'So much more than a cookbook, The Jackfruit Chronicles is balm for the soul: a heartwarming story told with love, compassion – and a host of gorgeous recipes.' Orlando Murrin ‘Shahnaz writes beautifully about food’ Dina Begum ‘A thoroughly enjoyable, inspiring and uplifting read. It made me deeply nostalgic about significant dishes in my own life’ Sejal Sukhadwala 'It's an intimate, touching and fascinating story of a family's resilience and adaptability … Threaded through the family history – the sorrows, joys, upheavals – is food, the great connector to place and people … An evocative, thought-provoking and deeply appetising read.' Jenny Linford *** PRAISE FOR SHAHNAZ AHSAN’S PREVIOUS WORK ‘A wonderful, enriching read: epic, engaging, insightful and honest’ Observer New Review ‘A story of quiet striving and determination, of love and friendship’ Guardian ‘A personal migrant experience told with beauty and insight’ Stylist
