In Candice Chung and Katie Goh’s memoirs, food is a love language, a commodity, and a way of saying the unsayable. Chung’s Chinese Parents Don’t Say I Love You unpicks family dynamics and the rituals of dining together, while Goh’s Foreign Fruit uses the complex history of the orange as a framework for her personal story. They chat with us about how food informs our understanding of the world, and our place in it.
