Food isn’t just about hunger. We all know it has a straight hotline to our emotions. What we eat and when we eat it are intimately entwined and three women discover that food has a role far more important than keeping hunger at bay.For Tahera, devoted wife and mother, cooking familiar dishes helps her recover from theabyss she sinks in when her husband dies an untimely death.Ruqayya was ahead of her time. In the late 1950s, few women would have openly said that they hated cooking. But Ruqayya’s blunt statement wasn’t as easily accepted in her house until she learnt to spin magic with sugar and khova, giving her a new role as the family’s dessert maker. Unable to communicate to those she loves, Zubi turns to food as a way of showering them with her affection. But living in Hong Kong with her young son and husband, Zubi realises that it is food that eventually helps her forge an identity for herself.More than Just Biryani is a culinary journey that spans three generations but at its heart, it’s a story of understanding needs, discovering identities, overcoming fears and above all, embracing love.
