Baghdad to Bombay - In the Kitchens of My Cousins
Baghdad to Bombay: In the Kitchens of My Cousins offers us a view into the world of the Baghdad Jews who journeyed from Iraq to India. Pearl Sofaer, a marvelous story teller, introduces us to her extraordinary family and to the characters of her youth, describing scents, flowers and moments that make us feel as though we are reliving with her the experiences of her childhood. --Joan Nathan, author, The Jewish Holiday Cookbook.Pearl Sofaer's lovely memoir draws you into a rich family tale simmering with the scents and sounds of Bombay, Rangoon and Baghdad; spices, fruits and flowers, the pop of cricket balls, the songs of Indian street vendors and piano playing aunts. --Jesse Hamiln, San Francisco ChronicleThis delightful combination of personal family history and Iraqi Indian recipes should please those who are looking for good food, but more than just a cookbook. --Judy Montagu, The Jerusalem Post
