Please visit my fan page on Facebook and tell me what you think of my website or the stories and recipes in my book, Breaking Bread. Selected Reader Comments: I was given this book as a Mother's Day present and blazed right through it all in one day. It is a very original investigation of home cooking, the cross-cultural experience, story telling, different ethnic cuisines, and family life. As a first generation American myself with immigrant parents, I found many interesting commonalities with the book's subjects. It could as easily belong on the syllabus of a college course in cultural anthropology as on a shelf in the kitchen for favorite cookbooks. Not many reads transcend so many genres of writing as this book. It inspired me to cook more with my kids, father, and husband and to simply value what I have to pass on about the taste of the old country. This would also be a great and original choice for any Book Club! Appreciative Reader I bought a copy of
this book for myself, and by the end of the week also bought a copy for my
mother for her birthday. I know she'll love it for the same reasons I do:
Lovely writing, fascinating oral histories of immigrants to America who carry
their home traditions to the US through cooking and sharing family meals, and
really wonderful recipes. I know this won't be the only time I give this book
as a gift! Connie Barry
