Pravasan Pillay's Curry and Bread now in production

Pravasan Pillay’s new book, Curry and Bread, is now in production!

Blending memoir, humour, lists, slices of life, and vignettes into a layered collage, Curry and Bread is an offbeat exploration of the food and foodways of working-class South African Indians – as well as Pillay's own food memories.
