Celebrating America, One Meal at a Time is a tender and evocative culinary memoir that traces an immigrant's journey through food, memory, and belonging. From her first Thanksgiving turkey to Diwali sweets shared with neighbors, from the Fourth of July grill to Lunar New Year dumplings learned from a friend, each recipe becomes a story - of connection, curiosity, and quiet transformation.Blending rich personal storytelling with recipes that bridge cultures, this book invites readers to see how food can both preserve where we come from and open doors to where we are. It's a love letter to two homes - the one left behind, and the one built anew - and a reminder that sometimes, the path to belonging begins with something as simple as an open table.
