| Summary |
"Illustrates Joseph Geha's early years in America and his family's struggle to learn the language and ways of a new world. A compilation of family recipes and of the stories that came with them, it deftly blends culture with cuisine. In her kitchen, Geha's mother took special pride in the Arabic dishes she cooked, cherishing that aspect of her heritage that, unlike language, has changed very little over time and distance. With this book, Geha shares how the food of his heritage sustained his family throughout that cultural journey, speaking to them--in a language that needs no translation--of joy and comfort and love" -- publisher's description. |

"Immigrant children first speak the language of their mothers, and in Toledo, Ohio's Little Syria neighborhood where I grew up, the first place you'd go to find your mother would be the kitchen. There, my mom took special pride in the traditional Syro-Lebanese food she cooked. Kitchen Arabic is a compilation both of her recipes and of the family stories that came with them. It is as much a memoir as a cookbook because the stories and recipes complement the telling of our early years in America, our struggle to learn the language and ways of a new world, and how the food of our heritage sustained us throughout that struggle, speaking to us-in a language that needs no translation-of joy and comfort and love"-- Provided by publisher. |
