Barlin Ali a longtime friend and scoolmate in the good old days and the author of the book: Somali cuisine--the first of its kind and one of the most widely-read cookbooks--has travelled quite extensively in many parts of the States for training and for a book-singing mission. For the coming few days we shall be featuring Barlin's book and trainings in the Mobile Museum exhibition page. As you may know, a piece of a food item like Mufo or canjeero in the Diaspora could make you feel like reconnecting with your cultural heritage and roots of your food history. To me Barlin's book gives me a sense of belonging and identity. (4 photos)
