Description

“Family Kitchen” is not a cookbook, but a book about life seen through food. Friends, relatives, colleagues, neighbors, children—each of them is tied to their own tastes, episodes, and kitchen tales. A simple glazed curd snack can instantly take you back to childhood. Your mother-in-law’s pies set an unreachable bar. And your mom’s belyash pastries can unexpectedly lead to a proposal for marriage. What should you feed a future husband so he calls you without any doubt? How do you not fall off your diet? And is it true that a cutlet dropped on a string from the upper floor can become the beginning of a strong friendship? These and other funny, sad, tender, and utterly unbelievable stories—collected by Masha Traub in her new book.

“This book is about food and about people. There are no recipes here—only emotions. I recalled a dish—and the people connected to it. This is a book about the kind of taste that echoes in the memory.”
