Different cultures utilize food in different ways, not only as a way to celebrate but also to heal, to show empathy and compassion, and to keep home close when away; it represents history, it shows the blending of cultures and portraits of immigration stories, evolution, it is a gathering force for communities and households alike.
It is a universal language, it is at the core of every culture. It not only nourishes our bodies but our hearts and souls. Food is a form of communication, no matter where we are from and what language we speak.
Food is political, social, economic, cultural, scientific, and more. It comes in different shapes, colors, and textures; it is fun and can be jarring. Food is what makes this world go round.
