Food has been an inherent part of our lives for ages. If looked beyond its culinary artistry one can also look at it as a form of powerful cultural expression. This is because it’s a vault of values and histories that have shaped communal identities.

Food is addressed not only as a crucial indicator of cultural values and practices but also as a commodity in a capitalist world; therefore lastly emphasizing the cosmopolitan nature of the postmodern age.
