Memories on a Plate: Pre-order now!
Introducing a collaborative anthology by The Alipore Post x Nivaala that celebrates food, nostalgia and storytelling!
Hello!
I’m super duper stoked to tell you about something that’s been in the works since the start of the year. I’ve been collaborating with Shruti from Nivaala to put together Memories on a Plate, a culinary anthology that celebrates food, nostalgia and storytelling!
About the book:
Curated by The Alipore Post and Nivaala, Memories on a Plate brings together the joys of cooking and nostalgia of food through personal anecdotes, memories, recipes, art, poetry and photo essays from Indian kitchens around the globe. A peek into the kitchens and hearts of 90+ contributors from around the world.
By exploring this fusion of culinary and emotional landscapes, we hope to create a timeless keepsake that resonates with people on a deeply personal level. An ode to those who have fed and nourished us.
We’re also exploring a new format of collecting audio memories, because we wanted to capture grandmothers sharing their pickle recipes and hear people share anecdotes and memories around food. So we’re adding QR codes as an added sensory layer to the food memories.
We need your support.
Spanning over 200 pages of captivating storytelling, this collaborative anthology lovingly weaves together the intricate threads of food, memory, and home. This effort to collect and preserve our collective food memories is a labour of love, with a self-published limited edition print run of 500 copies. The funds raised from the pre-order sales will directly contribute to the production costs, and bring this dream project to life.
Pre-orders close on September 20th. Shipping will commence in the first week of October, with delivery available both within India and internationally. By participating in this pre-order campaign, you will not only get a copy of the book but also join a community dedicated to preserving the flavours of the past.
A meal for every book.
Memories on a Plate is not just a book; it's a gesture of kindness, a way to give back. With each purchase, a meal will be provided to those in need through Khaana Chahiye, an impact foundation working towards SDG-2 'Zero Hunger', in Mumbai. This anthology embodies the spirit of community and compassion, making it a literary project that truly nourishes both the soul and the stomach.
We’re in the news. Yay!
Thanks for telling the story of our labour of love, Sobhika! 🤗🙏🏼
We can’t wait to go into print and make this book into a reality. Please do consider pre-ordering your copy and showing some love.
Bon appetit!
