The Language of Baklava: A Memoir
by Diana Abu-Jaber
This book made me hungry. I loved the recipes placed strategically throughout, and linked to the author's life story and pivotal events. Abu-Jaber writes beautifully and effortlessly transports you to Jordan, upstate New York, and back again through food, family, and cultural conflicts/melding. She reflects on what it means to be Jordanian or American or both, and through exploring her own journeys as well as her father's, she comes to find peace with who she is and where she's been.
