Katherine is hafu; half Japanese, half English but in the experience of eating her body “forgot its cultural confusion”. Meshi explores the meals of Katherine’s childhood through Japan’s twenty-four sekki (seasons) untangling the threads of meaning, memory and ritual woven through every delicious mouthful.

And…

From hand-written recipes passed down through generations, to cook books that take us inside other cultures, or sell us dreams of travel, the recipe book is an enduring artefact of our culture. Foodie and former bookseller Kate Jordan Moore takes us through the many shapes food literature can take.

Guests: 

Katherine Tamiko Arguile, author of Meshi; A personal history of Japanese food published by Affirm Press

Kate Jordan Moore, former bookseller and history researcher



Our Random Reader - Clara

Music composed by Quentin Grant

Welcome to Tsundoku – the podcast for addicted readers.  Tsundoku is the Japanese word for that pile of books by your bed – the ones you fully intend to read – sometime!  If you can’t resist a good story, are endlessly curious about new books and love nothing better than discussing an old favourite – this is the podcast for you. In Tsundoku we’ll talk to the authors of the moment, we’ll pull out the ‘hits and memories’ from years past and chat them back into life, and we’ll talk to readers from all walks of life about how they acquired their reading passion, their all time favourites … and what books they have waiting in their Tsundoku.
