They say you can travel the world through food and no book demonstrates that more than Cynthia Shanmugalingam’s debut Rambutan.
Heavily inspired by her Tamil roots and summers spent exploring markets, milling spices and cooking over fire in her mother’s north Sri Lankan village, the book tells the story of the cuisine and the country through the lens of a British-born immigrant looking to discover more about her heritage and the place her parents call home.
