Many of todayâs immigrants use Skype to keep in touch with folks back in the old country but in those âradio daysâ of old before the luxuries of hot running water or freezers, much less refrigeration, blenders, or microwaves, the kitchen was where an immigrant mother usually had to be, snapping peas or rolling grape leaves while she waited for the dough to rise. There, Gehaâs mother took special pride in the traditional Syro-Lebanese food she cooked, such as stuffed eggplant, lentil soup, kibbeh with tahini sauce, shish barak, and fragrant sesame cookies. As much a memoir as a cookbook, Kitchen Arabic illustrates the journey of Gehaâs early years in America and his familyâs struggle to learn the language and ways of a new world. A compilation of family recipes and of the stories that came with them, it deftly blends culture with cuisine. In her kitchen, Gehaâs mother took special pride in the Arabic dishes she cooked, cherishing that aspect of her heritage that, unlike language, has changed very little over time and distance. 541 $d 20230426. 650 $a Lebanese Americans $v Biography. 650 4 $a Cooking, Lebanese. 650 7 $a Immigration and emigration $z United States. 655 7 $a Biographies. 655 $a Cookbooks. 941 $a 8 952 $l GPPC641 $d 20240717011302.0 952 $l S1PD771 $d 20240702042144.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20240125011052.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20231004011254.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20230801010058.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20230621011049.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20230621010351.0 952 $l BVPE851 $d 20230518010028.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=467A3EBCF54111EDB9F5D31542ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
