Cooking and Stories from Immigrants in Minnesota

Kitchens of Hope: Immigrants Share Stories of Resilience and Recipes from Home by Linda Svitak, Christin Jay Eaton, Lee Svitak Dean

June 28, 2026 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

Kitchens of Hope: Immigrants Share Stories of Resilience and Recipes from Home. This is a cookbook that admits that it’s not just about the recipes. It’s about the stories and a point as well. It’s very not shy about that, which is rare. Most anyone who’s read a cookbook, or even an online recipe has probably noticed that a lot of the writers try to sneak a lot of story and maybe also a ideological point in as well. There are 3 introductions to highlight […]

Not as much bang for the bosh

Bosh! On a Budget by Henry Firth, Ian Theasby

June 11, 2022 by CoffeeShopReader 1 Comment

Several years ago (pre-pandemic) I’d been to the UK for business, and gotten hooked on the Tesco (major grocery chain over there) lunch combo (sandwich, chips, and drink) with a specific sandwich: the Ploughman’s lunch. Basically, that’s a cheese sandwich with tomato, lettuce, and a very specific pickle-type spread. That spread is commonly available in the UK but not so much in the US, and a few weeks after getting home, I had a major craving for that sandwich. I found a recipe that’s quite […]

Make Samosa, Do Good in the World

The Kitchen without Borders: Recipes and Stories from Refugee and Immigrant Chefs by The Eat Off Beat Chefs, Siobhan Wallace, Penny De Los Santos

I love food. I love flavor. While there are individual ingredients and dishes I don’t care for, I have yet to meet a cuisine I disliked. I love people and learning their stories. I especially love when people are sharing something about which they are passionate. The Kitchen Without Borders ticks a lot of my boxes. I received an arc from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Eat Offbeat is a catering company in New York City started by and employing immigrants and refugees. […]
