In Chhaunk, Nobel Prize-winning economist Abhijit Banerjee teams up with illustrator Cheyenne Olivier to offer an unforgettable exploration of foodโnot just as something we consume, but as something that connects, defines, and reflects us.

A soulful blend of economics, food writing, and personal reflection
Gorgeous full-color illustrations that bring global food cultures to life
