Andre Simon Shortlist Special: Yasmin Khan

In the last of the Andre Simon Shortlist Special series, we meet
Yasmin Khan whose book Ripe Figs transports us
across  the East Mediterranean, tasting the best food
in Greece, Turkey and Cyprus in the company of refugees and
activists. As  they chop and chat about borders, memory
and identity, Yasmin shows us how food can give dignity and
humanise people in the harshest of circumstances.


Plus, food assessor, the author Yemisi Aribisala explains why she
chose Ripe Figs to be among the final seven best food books of
2021.
