[About the book]
The Toyonaka International Association has been implementing an event called "Let's Eat from Around the World" since 2014 as part of its multicultural coexistence promotion project. The purpose of the event is to invite foreigners as lecturers and have them interact with local people through food, to promote intercultural understanding through this interaction, and to empower the foreign lecturers by having them teach about food culture.
This book compiles about 2014 dishes that have been introduced on "Let's Eat Around the World" over the six years since the program began in 6. The goal was to create a book that does not just introduce dishes, but also "shows people and cultures." It also features interviews with foreigners who have been instructors on "Let's Eat Around the World," as well as columns about the dishes and information on food stores.
We hope you will pick up this book and try to taste the familiar flavors of the home countries of foreigners living in the area. - Publication date
