Description

While growing up in Versailles, an Indiana farm community, Linda Furiya tried to balance the outdoor world of Midwestern The us with the Japanese traditions of her home life. As the only Asian circle of relatives in a tiny township, Furiya’s life revolved around Japanese food and the atypical lengths her parents went to with a purpose to gather the ingredients needed to prepare it.
As immigrants, her parents approached the challenges of living in The us, and maintaining their Japanese diets, with optimism and gusto. Furiva, meanwhile, was once conscious about how food set her with the exception of her peers: She spent her first day of school hiding in the girls’ restroom, examining her rice balls and chopsticks, and eager for a Peanut Bullter and Jelly sandwich.
Bento Box in the Heartland is an insightful and reflective coming-of-age tale. Beautifully written, each and every chapter is accompanied by a circle of relatives recipe of mouth-watering Japanese comfort food.
