I had a wonderful gastronomical experience when I was in Egypt this past March. The memoir was charming, and the recipes doable for an inexperienced cook such as myself. ( ) De auteur is een heel interessante dame met haar wortels stevig in het Midden-Oosten (Egypte-Libanon) en in de Westerse wereld (Frankrijk, Spanje, de VS). In deze memoires belicht ze haar lange verblijf bij haar grootouders in Caïro, voor en tijdens de tweede wereldoorlog. Rossant laat als culinair journalist de plaatselijke keuken ruim aan bod. interesting idea to combine recipes and memoir as food is a great memory. rossant's widowed mom is not very interested in her but she seems to have had great grandparents. most of the places of childhood have vanished but the food remains. made me remember(mostly with ucchk)the food of my childhood. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
In 1937, five-year-old Colette Rossant arrives in Cairo from Paris with her Egyptian Jewish father and beautiful French mother. When her father dies, Colette's flighty mother abandons the little girl to her wealthy grandparents and a troupe of uncles, aunts and cousins. Colette soon settles into the luxuriant, food-centred lifestyle of her new family - spending afternoons in the spice-filled kitchen with Ahmet the cook; accompanying her grandmother to expeditions in the bazaar; and feasting on the delicious Egyptian food. But the idyllic Egyptian days are soon over and Colette's mother returns to Paris with Colette when she is fifteen. Colette never sees her beloved grandparents again and only sets foot in Egypt thirty years later. In this charming, funny, and moving memoir she evokes an Egypt lost, to her and to us, for ever. Accompanied by recipes that will tempt you into the kitchen, this is a captivating account of a magical childhood. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
