Description
From Tigray to the world, a love story through food.
This is not your regular cookbook. The recipes are a legacy of Tekebash Gebre, my extraordinary mother. Tekebash was born in Tigray, under the rule of the last Ethiopian emperor. She lived under a communist regime before fleeing to Sudan. Since then we have been on a migration journey, from Aksum to Khartoum to Melbourne and beyond. Our hearts, however, will forever be Tigrayan, and through Tekebash's simple, vibrant dishes we celebrate a connection that won't be broken. It has been my privilege to translate and record what Tekebash cooked by taste, touch and memory for several years in our Melbourne restaurant. It's our story, and it's my tribute. But it will also resonate with anyone who knows the unceasing pull of a distant homeland and the comfort of its food.

I am so happy to see more and more books from Africa. I loved the stories, I learned so many things about Tigray and Ethiopia. And the recipes sound delicious I didn't get to make anything yet, but definitely I will soon.

This book is a beautiful introduction to African cooking, it has some beautiful recipes which I can’t wait to try out.

I knew little of African cuisine before opening this book but it’s really opened my eyes and got my appetite going. What an excellent recipe book that is so much more!
Thanks so much to NetGalley and the publishers for letting me read an advance copy of this book in exchange for my review.

This is much more than a cookbook - we learn about the history of a culture and a family as well as a wonderful mother-daughter connection, told amongst the beautiful recipes. I loved having the added context of when a recipe would be traditionally prepared - for a wedding, or after a birth, and the description of the other traditions surrounding those major milestones. The story of the Tigrayan people and the continued struggle they endure is told throughout this book, but it is also full of hope and delicious food.
