Home Again

Description

HOME AGAIN combines a collection of over 175 Armenian recipes from the Ottoman Empire with a memoir of a family of immigrants who kept certain recipes close to their hearts as a means of preserving their cultural heritage. The author examines the relationship between history and cuisine, between displacement and memory, between the individual and their ancestors. Working over 10 years to collect authentic recipes from the descendants of Armenians who fled their homeland, the author brings forth a book that aligns some rare recipes with history and personal anecdotes of dozens of Armenian cooks.
