It explores the way in which migrants adapt their national food types to overseas tastes and conditions, and the place home and food play in the dietary habits of the other and the dispossessed. Taking readers on a global journey it is a book which informs and entertains on a number of levels.Anne J Kershen, Queen Mary University of London, UKThis book is an important contribution to the field of food studies, highlighting the significance of making ‘home’ in the contemporary global foodscape.Steffan Igor Ayora Diaz, Universidad Autónoma de Yucatán, Mexico
