As there is no international style Manipuri cuisine, Manipuri artist hosts meals were asked to create meals with an emphasis on indigenous dishes that display the distinctive features of this cuisine. I discovered though this process that Manipuri cuisine is marsh, or wetlands, based. For this reason, I have featured our meals as a specifically documented part of the project. I have not been able to find all the common or botanical names of vegetables used. Thanks to all our Manipuri hosts. Bon appetit!
