In the shifting currents of time, the role of food has seen a metamorphosis throughout our evolution and has helped us grow as a race, from a resource for nutrition to a representation of our ever-changing morals and traditions. The kitchen of any home contains the ingredients of a past that has seen a civilisation change in what it preserves and, most importantly, what it aspires to possess.

Food and diplomacy are terms that are thought to be far distant in the iridescent landscape of our mind, but as a matter of fact, they are often interchangeable as they both are communicators of the policies, identities, and representations of people and their cultures.

It becomes necessary for us to understand all the changes it will bring for everyone.
