“Good luck with that!”

One of the biggest tasks that anyone has when leaving home is to find food that reminds one of home – sometimes it’s not an easy task (see the number of Hong Kong-style cafés or Indian restaurants around Vancouver); but sometimes it’s a monumental task. Megan, whose heritage home is in Zimbabwe, created this food journal to document her arduous journey of thinking about what food from home means, and, most importantly, figuring out where to even find the ingredients needed to make all the hometown delicacies so she can feel that warmth and comfort again. From tapping into others in the diasporic Zimbabwean community to using her own resourcefulness, she ultimately succeeds in her plans and cooks up some amazing offerings. What you are craving for something from home, how do you go about getting it?
