Additional info

The COMFORT FOODS series publishes creative responses to the relationship between food and culture, identity and cuisine, from people in diaspora or those from various marginalised identities. From eating away exile to 2,000 word philosophical treatises on biryani, we’re here for it. We prefer non-fiction and visual art for this category. Do not submit multiple times during submission periods If your work is accepted, please wait at least twelve months before submitting to us again. If your work is not accepted then please wait until the next submissions period to try again.
