Obtain lawful access to two Nigerian novels containing recurring cooking and shared-meal scenes. Code sensory description and speakers' recollections, then compare occasions when food creates or unsettles belonging. Establish selection criteria before detailed reading, record edition and page references, and test the developing interpretation against passages that complicate it.
