Sushi & Samosas

"Sushi! No way!" exclaimed Raine.

"Samosas! Never!" screamed Asha.

Raine and Asha, two bright yet stubborn kids, are afraid to try new foods, and prefer to stick to their familiar diet of chicken nuggets and fries. Their adventurous foodie parents are on a mission to change their minds, and have some tricks up their sleeves to get their children to open up and open wide.

Take this delicious journey around the world with Raine and Asha and their parents, and be sure to bring your hungry appetites along for the globe-trotting ride.

What better way to create global awareness than through the love of food? This fun book advocates for diversity, tolerance, and cross-cultural understanding, and believes that breaking down barriers by the spoon is an essential introductory step for kids to learn more about the world around them.

Rishma Govani has spent the last three decades committed to breaking down barriers, extending bridges, and championing cross-cultural understanding, awareness, and acceptance. Curious by nature, she is a trailblazing advocate for pluralism. She is the CFO (Chief Food Officer) for TFLC, the Toronto Food Luck Club, a successful dinner club that explored over 100 world cuisines for 15 years in Toronto. TFLC is the inspiration behind this book. A daughter of Ugandan refugees, trained as a journalist, and known as an eternal optimist, she hopes to contribute to global peace by helping people learn more about the world's diverse cultures. She continues to think global and eat local with the real-life version of Asha & Raine, her children Mila & Khalil Mulji and in honour of their dad, the biggest foodie of them all.
