Emiko Davies: Gohan

This week, Gilly is with Emiko Davies, the Australian born, half
Japanese writer on Italian food who lives with her family in
Florence to talk about Japan.


Her book Gohan is the story of her childhood food, fed to her by
her Japanese mother in Australia and by her grandparents in
Japan. It's the Japanese word for rice, but it also means ‘family
meal’ and for Emiko, the only word as the title for her latest
book. As she explores who she is through her food, we learn how
mothers can hold the key to a child's sense of self, and how
complicated - and how simple - that can be.
