I grew up with many fond memories surrounding food. Whether I was enjoying my favorite bowl of mom’s spaghetti on the couch, watching cartoons…or filling up my plate with variety of vietnamese dishes at a family gathering…It has always had lasting memories I can look back on today. Food brings meaningful connections among individuals. It transcends language barriers, serving as a universal language of taste and comfort. The act of sharing a meal promotes open dialogue, encourages understanding, and creates a sense of camaraderie. Whether gathered around a family dinner table, a festive celebration, or a community event, the experience of breaking bread together cultivates a sense of belonging and unity. Through the exchange of recipes, culinary traditions, and personal stories, people gain insights into each other’s backgrounds, fostering mutual respect and appreciation.
