Cherished recipes from the Ma'min, Ottoman Muslims with Jewish decendents who lived in what is now Greece and Turkey. Home cooking provides a fascinating, intimate look at a society that vanished in World War I.

"In the same year that Colombus sailed west from Spain heading for the new world, the family of Esin Eden whose recipes are set forth in this bookm sailed east to the old, settling first in Ottoman Salonica, then Germany, and finally Istanbul. The book follows their wayward tracks as we read through these recipes with Spanish, Turkish, Greek, and German name, recognizing part of our own past and our own scattered inheritance..."
Avi Sharon

Eloquent social commentary and very accessible recipes. Charming turn-of-the-century photos and line drawings.
