‘We are Cheesemakers’ Book available for Pre Order now!
A young family is forced to leave the land they love in search of a new home. Poisoned soils and dried up rivers have made farming impossible. Mummī and Papa hold onto cherished memories, humble ingredients and the heritage craft of cheesemaking as they make the journey from Panjab to the Po valley in Italy. This story offers a gentle yet powerful exploration of the hopeful dreams of migrant workers and the importance of food in connecting communities so they too can find a place to belong.
We Are Cheesemakers brings issues of food and climate justice to the forefront, continuing the mission of Saffron Press, to move little citizens of change to reimagine big, global ideas with care and compassion.

My highest goal is to convey the same joy and belonging to my collectors, which I feel while painting.

a different kind of happiness." - Anni Albers
ABOUT ME
Hi! I am Parmeet Arora Bori, an Indian born mixed media Artist/ Illustrator, based in Toronto,CA, who loves indulging in nostalgia - the comfort & protection of my joys of childhood.
Painting brings me joy and offers me a place to colourfully acknowledge and celebrate the beauty in world be big or small and the gratitude I feel living it!
After losing my mom to cancer in 2015 and becoming a mother myself within consecutive years, I started painting & illustrating art which creates a sense of repose, growth, recollection and belonging for me and the viewer.
I love painting objects that ignite happy memories related to family, childhood, food based on my travels, personal experiences and various stories I enjoyed as a child.
