Description
In this fabulous book Or Rosenboim shares national and family history through the food cooked by her two grandmothers. If you've ever wondered what your family's food really means, or felt the pull of heritage through a single taste, this book will resonate with you.
A stunning testament to how memory, identity, and nourishment intertwine across generations. Or Rosenboim’s knowledge of her family history was based on the food her grandmothers cooked for her – round kneidlach balls in hot chicken broth, cinnamon-scented noodle kugel, deep-pink stuffed quinces and herby green rice with a squeeze of lemon juice.
Taking us from Samarkand and Riga to the Middle East, Air and Love is a deeply human retelling of some of the major moments of the twentieth century, and a family story of migration and belonging, suffused with recipes of the food made along the way.
