The Magic Table - Hardcover

The Magic Table is a story of a family who moved from a faraway land to settle in rural Appalachia.

Despite their differences, they opened their home, heart, and hearth, to the people in their tiny mountain town.

They embraced everyone in their own custom, culture, and cuisine, while seamlessly blending in with their adopted Appalachian ways.

It shows how a simple act, like sharing a humble meal can bring everyone magically together around the table and strengthen their bond.

This is a story of diversity and inclusion, co-existing in perfect harmony. This is our story.

Have a seat at the Magic Table with us and enjoy the flavors of this mystical journey, we call life.

Diversity is truly delicious.

"Mom always said, Mareesa was an amalgam. She was a beautiful combination of her Appalachian heritage and roots with the custom, culture and cuisine of their native land. She was as strong as the mountains she was born into. She was grounded firmly like a banyan tree.

She... was the perfect combination of curry and cornbread."

- Sheila Ahmad, The Magic Table
