Amjad Khalid’s Dough Central Connects People Through Food
Food connects us all. It connects us to each other, to our own pasts and
identities/memories, and to the larger world around us. We can think of these
connections as going both inwards and outwards, so that food can take us into
exploring ourselves as well as the impact that we as individuals might have on other
people, economies, ecologies, and society. Food has been our basic language and the
reason the world connects. It lights up our mood when we are sharing a meal with our
loved ones. It’s a way we have shared foods throughout history and it’s a language that
connects us all. No matter what language we speak Hindi, Chinese, or English we can
stir the pot and cook something that we can all enjoy. Sharing foods and recipes is the
common language we all understand, even dating back in our history when people
were trading spices.
