      • Two Nordic Short Novels

        by Ana Flecha Marco

        The title of the book, Two Nordic Short Novels, signals to the reader exactly what to expect: two short fictions set in Scandinavia.  These stories are not only linked by length and latitude but also by the fact that they are a sheer delight to read. Story of Ø tells the tale of the handful of inhabitants left living on a tiny island in the Norwegian Sea, which is sinking inexorably due to climate change.  The islanders decide to try and conserve the collective memory of the land that has been their home for so many generations; a memory that lies in the objects and traditions that have shaped their personal and shared landscape. Mancha vividly conjures up the impressions of young woman as she arrives in Flekke, a small Norwegian village, to teach Spanish.  The village is populated by a kaleidoscopic range of inhabitants whom the teacher grows to understand as she interacts with them day by day.  The story unfolds with a refreshing lightness of touch, mixing humour and insight into cultural diversity with subtlety and skill.

        Under the Fig Tree

        by María Bautista

        Clara returns from Berlin after ten years with a suitcase filled with pain and guilt. It’s almost impossible for her to feel like she is back home: her mother is not there anymore and her friends are trying to survive the economic crisis and adult life. Without prospects and without a job, she tries to face her past and to recover the hope of a future by moving to a small village in Salamanca to take care of Inés, her 93 years old grandmother. In a house full of the old woman ghosts, always ill-tempered and elusive, Clara will discover a story that, like her own, is marked by the deaths of others and by secrets that, sooner or later, will come out to light. With a Spanish depopulated rural village as a background, the novel tells the encounter between two generations of women and how they overcome their differences through sorority and solidarity.

        Brick Lane Cookbook

        by Dina Begum

        Brick Lane is famous for many things: for being home to the biggest Bangladeshi community in the UK, for its curry houses and Bengali sweet shops, for its graffiti, its long-running market and its beigel shops. Now, its also increasingly well known for its thriving art and fashion scene and the incredible street food available there. Dina Begum has been a regular visitor since she was a little girl eating lamb kofta rolls with her dad at the Sweet & Spicy cafe. In her first book, she celebrates Brick Lane's diverse food cultures: from the homestyle Bangladeshi curries she grew up eating to her own luscious and indulgent cakes, from Chinese-style burgers to classic Buffalo wings, from smoothie bowls to raw coffee brownies. With contributions from street food traders and restaurants including Gram Bangla, Beigel Bake, Blanchette, Chez Elles, St Sugar of London, Cafe 1001 and Moo Cantina, the Brick Lane Cookbook is a culinary map of the East End's tastiest street and a snapshot of London at its authentic, multi-cultural best.

        Essay on Philippine Food and Culture

        by Doreen G. Fernandez

        Doreen Gamboa Fernandez represents “the compleat writer” – her incisive yet soulful writing, coupled with her keen understanding of the Filipino’s culture and psyche, has brought her (and us fortunate readers) into the very essence of Filipino cooking. According to her, “Writing about food should not be left to newspaper food columnists, or to restaurant reporters. It should be taken from us by historians of the culture, by dramatists and essayists, by novelists, and especially by poets. For it is an act of understanding, an extension of experience. If one can savor the word, then one can swallow the world.”
