Storied Dishes: What Our Family Recipes Tell Us About Who We Are and Where We've Been Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Linda Berzok's Storied Dishes is as much about Connections as it is about Food and Recipes. For me, each recipe in the book functions as a kind of time capsule. As I climb into a recipe, whether trying it out, or simply reading it, I find myself not only connecting with other women, but also reconnecting with pieces of my own culture, family, and self, that I have forgotten about. While the stories are varied and multicultural, most speak to the universal theme of reawakening to one's roots and thereby (re)discovering wings. As you step into the time capsule of each recipe/story, you' will travel into times and places that are both familiar and unfamiliar. You'll be reminded that the seemingly small intimacy of cooking for someone, receiving a recipe, or passing one along, can offer far more nourishment that is generally recognized in a fast paced world. Some recipes become life preservers for others, others offer celebration. As you read the book, you may become more aware of yourself as part of the chain of connectedness. And, like me, you may become more aware about what you are passing along to others by way of your own recipes and stories.
