The culinary is a field that offers a wide scope of study because of its essential but complex nature in relation with human beings. This paper will utilize the framework of memory studies to examine the nature of the relationship between the culinary and memory in Madhur Jaffrey’s climbing the Mango Trees: A Memoir of a Childhood in India and Asma Khan’s Asma’s Indian Kitchen. Communicative memory and Cultural memory are the key terms that will be employed in understanding the spaces of memory that the culinary occupies.  This study will explore the intersectional space occupied by the culinary and memory in analyzing how the two distinct memory sites merge or collapse within the culinary.
