"It's simply a beautiful book. Rossant has this remarkable way of drawing you into her Egyptian-Jewish-Parisian-Catholic world. The recipes from her childhood just give this book another level. I love it...it definitely gives a sense of nostalgia."
"Rossant's memoir is certainly mouthwatering, and it brings 1940's Cairo alive. However, it's a little on the light side - there are several family conflicts happening and it might have beeb better to explore them more fully. Still, Rossant's work is enjoyable and intriguing - looking forward to reading her first and third books."
"I love travel writing more so since since my own traveling has slowed down... I particularly love travel writing from the early 1900's. This books is good so far."
"A novel based around french and egyptian cooking. Not well structured or well written, but interesting as an exploration of being jewish and living in egypt in the 40s."
