PRAISE FOR STORIED DISHES
'Linda Berzok takes readers on a fascinating journey through the multicultural world of family recipes. I can’t think of another book that takes family recipes more seriously or is more
welcome.'
—Marion Nestle, New York Times bestselling author of What to Eat
'Food is love is what Storied Dishes is all about! Linda Murray Berzok’s superb book serves up a kaleidoscopic feast of love and family connections through vastly diverse
times, places and cultural traditions.'
--Francine Segan, Great Barrington resident and author of Opera Lover’s Cookbook and Shakespeare’s Kitchen
'A beautiful work. When you google a recipe, you never get the rich tapestry of life and story that lie behind it. Storied Dishes generously reveals the
tales that link women not only to recipes, but to their families and pasts.'
--Deborah Madison, author of Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone and What to Eat When We Eat Alone
