A collaborative project with the support of the World Food Programme (WFP) and four publishing houses across the globe. Bittersweet is an exploration of a rich culinary heritage, a piece of visual anthropology and a document of human resilience. It explores the cultural significance of food in Yemen’s history, touching on agriculture, trade and environment. With evocative photography by Sayed Asif Mahmud and research by Marta Colburn and Jessica Olney, the book explores how identity and dignity are preserved through the simple act of gathering and sharing a meal.
