Summary:
"Be My Guest is a deeply personal meditation on what it means to tend to others and to ourselves--and how the two things work hand in hand.
Priya
Basil
explores how food--and the act of offering food to others--are used to express love and support. Weaving together stories from her own life with knowledge gleaned from her Sikh heritage; her years spent in Kenya, India, Britain, and Germany; and ideas from Derrida, Plato, Arendt, and Peter Singer,
Basil
focuses an unexpected and illuminating light on what it means to be both a host and a guest."--Google Books.
