Recalling Forgotten Tastes

Book by Syarifah Nadhirah, A5 sized (14.8cm x 21cm), 80 pages, cover printed on 250gsm matte card, page inserts printed on 70gsm paper.

This book is an illustrative collection of edible plants, centred on environmental knowledge and traditional culinary practices by the Orang Asli communities in Peninsular Malaysia, primarily from the Semai and Temuan subgroups. The foreground of the book is to archive the disappearing knowledge of wild foraging and implementation into their diet.

Dive into the unfamiliar world of indigenous plants and trees that are often times overlooked and allow yourself to be cradled into a tasteful journey of forest edibles, through spreads of colourful illustrations and conversations.
