Book
How to share an egg : a true story of hunger, love, and plenty
Summary:
Bonny Reichert avoided engaging with her family's Holocaust history until, in midlife, she unexpectedly confronted it while writing an article. Her father's survival in Auschwitz-Birkenau was a backdrop to her upbringing, but a transformative experience in Warsaw--a perfect bowl of borscht--sparked a journey to explore her culinary roots. This journey intertwined with her personal life, from her childhood in the restaurant business to the challenges of marriage, motherhood, and her eventual path to becoming a chef. Reichert reflects on pivotal moments in her life and how food served as a symbol of joy, survival, and identity. The book blends stories of scarcity and abundance with her quest for self-discovery, exploring how her personal experiences connect to her family's legacy.-- Publisher description
