This beautifully designed book traces Jewish food writer Linda Dangoor’s journey from her home in Baghdad, and through the various countries she stayed or lived in before finally making her new home in London.

Part cookbook, part memoir, it interweaves delicious recipes with personal stories and musings on the meaning of home and belonging, reflecting the idea that we are where we have trod and so much more.

The first half of the book includes recipes from countries that hug the Mediterranean basin, where the Arab conquests and the Jewish diaspora left their culinary mark. In the second part, the author welcomes the reader into her kitchen, sharing some of the dishes that she cooks for her family and friends on a daily basis.
