We ask Claudia Roden: what does food tell us about migration stories?
The Egyptian-born British cookery writer talks to “The Economist Asks” about her culinary career
IN 1956 the Suez Crisis forced the Egyptian-born cookery writer and her Jewish family to flee Cairo for London. She tells Anne McElvoy why she collected the recipes of fellow refugees to keep the flavours of home alive and what food tells us about stories of migration. The octogenarian author of “A Book of Middle Eastern Food” and “Med” spills the secrets of her kitchen – from embracing mistakes to what to cook for the festive season. Runtime: 23 min
