So much more than a recipe book, this brave food memoir delivers a masterclass in storytelling. Alibhai-Brown’s family emigrated to Britain in 1972 after being expelled from Uganda by Idi Amin. It’s far from rose-tinted in its exploration of belonging, racism, family relationships and community, and the recipes act as the glue that holds it all together.
