Omschrijving
A memoir of global travel and the 175 recipes it inspired.
“Reminiscent of a community cookbook, Anthony’s debut offers memories and recipes of dishes she enjoyed during her travels on three continents. Anthony began writing this memoir to offer her two sons a glimpse into her life before she became their ‘maman.’ However, the work quickly evolved into an expression of the similarities and differences that exist across cultures. Anthony’s journey begins in the U.S., reflecting on her childhood in West Philadelphia and sharing family favorites, before setting off to Europe, where she came to appreciate that ‘simplicity often yields the best results.’ Next, Anthony found herself in Africa, where she explored the local markets, reflected on her heritage, and came to realize that when friends stop by, ‘There is always enough.’ Anthony’s journey ends in London, which she currently calls home. Throughout, Anthony shares her twist on local dishes, including couscous-stuffed chicken, beef Wellington, black-eyed pea fritters, ‘not quite chicken gumbo,’ and ‘kinda callaloo.’ Readers seeking traditional recipes may be disappointed, but those seeking adventure at the crossroads of cultures will certainly not."
— Melanie Dragger, Booklist
