An exploration both of Iraqi Jewish identity and of the way food culture defines national and personal taste, there's over 100 recipes to take you across the Levant and through Paris, London, Ibiza and Spain. A perfect cookbook for those who understand that food is the surest way to share experiences. -- The Jewish Literary Foundation

Linda Dangoor's dining table is as rich as the gripping journeys she has been on. It tells stories of families, of movement, of chicken buried in aromatic rice, of the love of food and life itself. Such a generous cookbook!' -- Yotam Ottolenghi

'Exciting flavours evoke a lost paradise and new beginnings in an engaging story of migration and identity.' -- Claudia Roden

'What a life. What a time. What a world. One could ask for no better guide through it than Linda Dangoor, and certainly no lovelier writer about its food.' -- Giles Coren

'Whether she writes about the taste of exile or the sweetness of quince candy - Linda Dangoor is a master of storytelling, cooking and love.' -- Gil Hovav

'A gem of a book to savour, immerse into, and cherish. A delicious journey blending recipes, stories, and iconic places.' -- Silvia Nacamulli

This beautifully designed book traces Jewish food writer Linda Dangoor's journey from her home in Baghdad, and through the various countries she stayed or lived in before finally making her new home in London.

Part cookbook, part memoir, it interweaves delicious recipes with personal stories and musings on the meaning of home and belonging, reflecting the idea that we are where we have trod and so much more.

The first half of the book includes recipes from countries that hug the Mediterranean basin, where the Arab conquests and the Jewish diaspora left their culinary mark. In the second part, the author welcomes the reader into her kitchen, sharing some of the dishes that she cooks for her family and friends on a daily basis.
