Spaghetti with Milk

Spaghetti with Milk is a collection of short stories and visual art, which explores how food memories shape our personal and cultural identities. Food is often the tantalizing back-story to understanding who we are, and how and why we live. Each of the six stories in this book is based on real life events and food memories captured from the lives of one immigrant family living in America. Spaghetti with Milk is a response to the polarizing elements found in society today. This book is a vehicle and lens for peaceful and joyful contemplation and dialogue.
