DESCRIPTION:Join us at Enabling Arts for this delicious event featuring mou
 th-watering flavours and reimagined myths.\n\nFranz Seachel will be in dis
 cussion with Veena Gokhale (online) to discuss her new book\, what inspire
 d this reimagining\, and all things about the journey of storytelling.\n\n
 There will be food for purchase by Mommy's Planet and drinks from Alai Cof

 e Indian Goddess of Nourishment\, presides over a rich harvest of stories 
 reimagined for the twenty-first-century palate. Here\, food manifests as p

  as it weaves through the lives of a cast of characters - kings and common
 ers\, witches and goddesses\, gurus and bandits\, refugees and travellers.
