Synopsis

Food Haikus is a deliciously beautiful book, like food Instagram in a book. Its fifty pages are food for the eyes and soul. A collection of bite-sized poems celebrating the beauty of eating, the ritual of cooking, and the joy we find at the table and with each other.

What will be your favorite: the tiny, perfect Oat Latte, the universally pleasing Dim Dum, or the tortoise-shaped Ang Ku Kueh?
Food Haikus is a love letter—to the Koh’s girlfriend, her Japanese heritage, and to the act of mindful eating itself. The collection weaves together themes of identity, culture, and connection with striking tenderness. Through food and photos, Koh explores what it means to nourish oneself and others, to find home in flavor, and to express affection in a culture where “Have you eaten?” is the most common form of love.
Elegant, heartfelt, and quietly profound, Food Haikus reminds us that poetry—like cooking—is an act of devotion. Food Haikus is a love letter to love and food.
