Mama Nazima's Jewish Iraqi Cuisine
Rivka Goldman was born in Basra, Iraq, into a wonderful tradition and a delicious cuisine. As a child, she left Iraq as part of a forced repatriation of Jews and later learned the art of cooking from her mother, a healer who incorporated her work into traditional recipes. Married to an American, Goldman raised three children in the United States, and currently resides in Los Alamos, New Mexico.
