PRAISE
FOR BREAKING BREAD "Breaking
Bread throws open a delightful window on the immigrant kitchen in America, capturing
the voices, traditions and—yes!—recipes of a couple dozen different food
cultures in a single volume."—Michael
Pollan, author of The Omnivore's Dilemma and In
Defense of Food “Lynne Anderson’s portraits
of recent immigrant families capture a crucial truth about how real food
connects us to our culture, our memories, and to one another. This is an important book.”—Alice Waters, author of Chez
Panisse Cooking “A Feast of stories
and flavors. Good ol’ home cooking
that’s not chicken and apple pie.”—Amy
Tan, author of The Joy Luck Club about this book
is hearing about this book is hearing "What's so
lovely to me about this book is hearing the actual voices of the people and
the unpredictable way their conversations about food capture life issues and
truths that extend far beyond the kitchen. More than ever it seems critical
to be finding and celebrating what we have in common and the connections
between people."—Nikki Silva,
co-author of Hidden Kitchens:
Stories, Recipes, and More from NPR's The Kitchen Sisters "Everyone
loves talking about food. In this remarkable book, Lynne Anderson lets recent
immigrants to America speak in their own words about the foods they most
loved from their homelands. Her cook-storytellers use recipes for cherished
foods as a way to recall childhood memories, the events that caused them to
emigrate, and their efforts to assimilate—the bitter along with the sweet.
For a delicious introduction to the immigrant experience in America, I can't
think of a better starting point than Breaking Bread." —Marion Nestle, author of What to Eat and Food Politics |
