Our relationship with food is explored and reflected in all its delectable diversity in this collection of sixteen authors' stories.  Food can bring together families, communities, and cultures. It is the essence of life and yet our relationships with one another can be most fraught at the dinner table. This perpetually fascinating subject has inspired a unique collection of fiction—including flash fiction, essay, short stories, and even a "stoku" (amalgam of short story and haiku)—from a wonderfully diverse and international group of authors. The authors in the anthology include Australian author Patrick J. Holland, and New Zealand author Rachel Fenton.
