Celebrating A Plate Is A Homeland

An Iraqi-Inspired Plant-Based Pop-Up Luna Issa and Phil Juma of JUMA Kitchen invite you to enjoy an evening of plant-based Iraqi eats, in celebration of Luna’s recently released cookbook A Plate Is A Homeland. Featuring a three-course plant-based meal, and a discussion between Phil and Luna diving into themes of the book, expect an evening of comforting flavours, contemporary dishes, and a celebration of Iraq in diaspora. A Plate Is A Homeland is a collection of new writing, reflection and plant-based recipes exploring what it means to live and cook in diaspora. Drawing on her lived experience as an Iraqi-Scot, Luna Issa ruminates on how identity is shaped through food – growing it, preparing it, cooking it, sharing it – in dialogue with other chefs and writers. Copies of A Plate Is A Homeland will be available for purchase. BYOB.
