About Synonym
Synonym Magazine is a magazine telling immigrant diaspora and third culture stories through food. As strangers in a new land, a taste of home can provide comfort and familiarity. Bringing those tastes together with the food at hand creates new traditions, a new heritage. At Synonym, we spotlight these stories and share how trade, politics, colonialism, and capitalism have changed food cultures around the world, for immigrants and countries’ natives alike. We explore all of this in the most intimate ways possible—through generationally shared flavors, the dishes placed on a table, the spices packed in a suitcase.
