SUMMARY:Hawa Hassan in Conversation for Setting a Place for Us
DESCRIPTION:LOS ANGELES\, CA\n\nHawa Hassan\, James Beard Award winner\, te
 levision host\, author of In Bibi’s Kitchen\, and founder and CEO of Bas
 baas\, makers of African-inspired sauces and condiments\, in conversation 
 for Setting a Place for Us: Recipes and Stories of Displacement\, Resillan
 ce\, and Community from Eight Countries of War. Moderated by Culinary Mult
 itasker\, Evan Kleiman. Book signing and meet and greet to follow.\n\nAn e
 nthralling\, intimate collection of essays and over 75 recipes exploring t
 he history of eight countries to understand the impact of geopolitical con
 flict and its outcomes on cuisine and food system\, from Somali refugee an
 d James Beard Award-winning author of In Bibi's Kitchen.\n\nCountries deal
 ing with major conflict are rarely portrayed in a well-rounded light by th
 e media. Images of disarray and decline saturate their narratives\, ignori
 ng the strength\, resourcefulness\, and ingenuity that arise from having t
 o navigate conflict. With empathy\, curiosity\, and an insistence on shari
 ng different aspects of human survival\, Hawa Hassan gathers singular\, mu
 ltifaceted narratives for eight countries from around the world.\n\nEach c
 hapter is devoted to a different country and opens with an informative ess
 ay on the culture and its history. Recipes follow highlighting indigenous 
 ingredients and share intimate portraits of the people preserving food cul
 ture\, including food from:\n\n 	Afghanistan\, such as Bolani (Stuffed Fla
 tbread) and Borani Banjan (Stewed Eggplant with Garlic Yogurt)\n 	Democrat
 ic Republic of Congo\, such as Chikwanga (Cassava Flour Cake) and Pondu (C
 assava Leaf Stew)\n 	Egypt\, such as Ta'ameya (Fava Bean Fritters) and Gho
 rayeba (Shortbread Cookies)\n 	El Salvador\, such as Sopa de Res (Beef Sha
 nk Soup) and Pupusas con Curtido (Filled Masa Flatbreads with Cabbage Slaw
 )\n 	Iraq\, such as Shorbat Adas (Lentil Soup) and Bamia (Lamb and Okra St
 ew)\n 	Lebanon\, such as Malfouf (Stuffed Cabbage Rolls) and Mouhamara (Sp
 icy Walnut and Red Pepper dip)\n 	Liberia\, such as Ground Peanut Soup and
  Kala (Sweet Fried Dough)\n 	Yemen\, such as Saltah (Lamb Stew with Fenugr
 eek Fruth) and Sahawiq\n\nAn original and groundbreaking work\, Setting a 
 Place for Us returns agency to the people whose stories\, up until now\, h
 ave been ignored in the media. It sheds light on the important work of pre
 serving recipes and food traditions in places of conflict and migration.
