Food and memory are inextricably linked; flavours and dishes evoke
emotion, rooted in nostalgia or specific experiences. The Hungry Table
embodies this idea. For Fatima Saib, food exists as a backdrop to her
childhood memories, intertwined with her precious relationship with her
late father. Derived from this culinary inspiration, the book expertly
weaves story and memory through a journey of over 90 contemporary
recipes, most with a nod to the author’s South African-Indian heritage.
With this in mind, the book is divided into five chapters, each one
tapping into a feeling. The Basics offers an array of chutneys, sauces,
pickles and flavour-enhancers to round off any dish. Togetherness is an
ode to food that is best shared among friends and family, like hot
honey fried chicken and fragrantly layered biryanis. Comfort covers
those recipes that warm the body and soul from the inside out, like
dhal and rasmalai. From Fast, expect deliciously quick-and-easy dishes
like chilli crunch toasted cheese or yoghurt and cardamom potato curry.
And for those slower days, when time is best used to explore and enjoy,
look to Relaxed, for dishes like parathas, sticky BBQ lamb ribs or
creamy cabbage and corn bake.
The Hungry Table ignites the senses, telling a story of time and place,
reminding readers to slow down and enjoy food and the way it makes us
feel. It is an invitation into the kitchen, to enjoy the catharsis of
cooking and the dishes that result, and, perhaps most importantly, to
be nourished by the memories created in the process.
