Synonym #1
Synonym amplifies the voices and stories of immigrants worldwide. Through an intimate food lens, Synonym explores the intricacies and interplays of movement, trade, politics, colonialism, and capitalism.
In this issue: Pantry
The inaugural issue of Synonym explores the utility and symbolism of the pantry, uncovering the alchemical ways diverse cultures use pantry staples like canned meat, packaged seasoning, rice and beans, and condiments to substitute, adapt, and fuse culinary heritage with their new homes. Highlights include: the lasting legacy of La Choy, a history of canned food classism, interview with Somali writer, chef, and artist Ifrah Ahmed, Alyse Whitney dishes out her new cookbook “Big Dip Energy” (recipes included), and much more!
