Blending short pieces of memoir, humour, and vignettes into a layered collage, Curry and Bread is Pravasan Pillays offbeat exploration of the food and foodways of working-class South African Indians as well as his own food memories. The books structure is an intriguing interplay between lighter and more melancholic moments. There are tongue-in-cheek guides to eating bunny chows and messy crab curries, an examination of the special relationship between Indian aunties and ice cream containers, an ode to the humble baked beans curry, and much more a veritable breyani in its construction. Pillay now lives in Sweden, and we are also given glimpses of his culinary adjustment there ranging from his experimental dhals to his ruminations on frozen curry leaves. Curry and Bread is a funny, and, at times, bitter-sweet book about food, but it is also ultimately about memory, home, nostalgia, migration, and identity.
