Lee Tran Lam enjoys sharing multicultural food stories through her projects, such as Diversity in Food Media and the books. “I’ve explored Australian food history for my podcast for Sydney’s Powerhouse Museum, so I knew we had soy sauce in the 1800s,” says Lam. “But researching this issue’s story amazed me: Indian food helped save the British settlement from starvation in 1792. The food scene was more multicultural than you’d think.”
