Jewish cooking 'godmother' recreates vivid family memories and 'sense of belonging' through food
Fox News
Joan Nathan has just published her 12th cookbook, "My Life in Recipes," and told Fox News Digital about the adventures, memories and family history she's captured in the new book.
Each dish that Nathan prepares is tied to a memory or an adventure, she said. "That one dish reminds us of being safe as a child within our homes." She imagined her female ancestors waiting in anticipation for the bread to rise on Thursday night. Her father and his family escaped from Nazi Germany in 1929, right after the stock market crash. She fell in love with eggplant kugels, soufflés, and roasted and fried eggplant. Eve Glover is a contributing writer for Fox News Digital.
For instance, she includes a recipe for Albert Einstein’s favorite dessert, strawberries mixed with whipped cream.
