Description

'This is a moving memoir about how recipes are formed by migration, love and loss, even within a single family' – Bee Wilson, author of The Secret of Cooking

'A fascinating book. ‘’Food of the road’: through memory, history, recipes — and love — a family, and an era’s, complex story is movingly traced' – Judith Flanders, author of Rites of Passage

A gorgeous, evocative memoir of family, food and migration.

As a child, Or Rosenboim’s knowledge of her family history was based on the food her grandmothers cooked for her – round kneidlach balls in hot chicken broth, cinnamon-scented noodle kugel, deep-pink stuffed quinces and herby green rice with a squeeze of lemon juice. It was only after reading their recipe books once they had both died that she began to understand their complicated past.

Taking us from Samarkand and Riga to the Middle East, Air and Love is a deeply human retelling of some of the major moments of the twentieth century, and a family story of migration and belonging, suffused with recipes of the food made along the way.
