Gather and Graze: Globally Inspired Small Bites and Gorgeous Table Scapes for Every Occasion

＂[This book] is a vibrant testament to the power of cross-cultural friendships in deepening our understanding of the world. As diverse backgrounds meld in the kitchen, each recipe becomes a dialogue, a celebration of unique cultural heritages, and a bridge between seemingly disparate worlds.＂
--From the foreword by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, Academy Award-winning director
