From Greek broth to grief and loss, fishwives to folklore, pancakes to politics, Gaza to Glasgow. Tomorrow’s Kitchen: A Graphic Novel Cookbook is a unique collection of stories and recipes from novelists, food writers, chefs, playwrights and activists from all over the world.

Interpreted into drawings by BAFTA-nominated illustrator Shuangshuang Hao, Tomorrow’s Kitchen invites you to the table to taste some flavours of today’s world and to think about how we might cook things up differently in tomorrow’s.

It’s the first time we’ve done a book like this. And as keen KP followers will know, we’ve always been huge fans of the way illustrations bring a different sort of life to food writing, so we leapt at the chance to collaborate with the wonderful Küche to bring Tomorrow’s Kitchen to life.

How it happened
Küche is a social business working in collaboration with people navigating the UK immigration system. As an organisation it looks to celebrate different cultural cuisines, counteract negative attitudes and provide opportunities for us to be more socially and culturally informed, and react responsibly and with empathy to the wider world around us.

Küche founder Deborah May spent the last year cooking and hosting, workshopping and talking, gathering stories and recipes to bring to print a publication that opens up a world of illustrations and ideas. And Tomorrow’s Kitchen is the result. Thought-provoking and hungry-making, the stories here look at migration. They also look at the way family recipes provide a generational link through ever changing circumstances, at what a country’s ‘traditional’ cuisine means in an increasingly multicultural world.
