Even migrant communities themselves adapt their traditional products to the British environment, as Panayi illustrates.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTaking in changes to home cooking, restaurants and takeaways, grocery shops and delicatessens and cookbooks, Panayi's flavourful account will appeal to all who enjoy British multicultural cuisine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ewith 48 illustrations\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Reaktion Books, Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47057526522096,"sku":"9781861896582","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781861896582_p0.jpg?v=1763601038","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781861896582","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
