Product Details

Praise

“Wistful, funny and tremendously satisfying…. Jaffrey’s taste memories sparkle with enthusiasm, and her talent for conveying them makes the book relentlessly appetizing.” —The New York Times Book Review

“Do not attempt to read [this] mouth-wateringly evocative memoir on an empty stomach…. A delicious tribute to a deeply rooted, multicultural upbringing.” —Newsday

“A sharp observer with a pleasing eye for sensual detail, Jaffrey weaves a richly textured story in which she effortlessly mingles quotidian drams with historic events.” —People Magazine

“Her story reads like a novel and evokes images worthy of a Merchant-Ivory production. You can practically taste sun warmed mangoes plucked from the tree, the barley-sugar candy that holds a hallowed place in the author’s memory.” —The Seattle Times
