Grand Dishes: Recipes and stories from grandmothers of the world

The result is Grand Dishes, a journey across four years of cooking with the world s grandmothers, a preservation not just of recipes but of the stories told through the dishes that have seasoned these grandmothers lives. Featured alongside are contributions from celebrated chefs and food writers, each with their own grandmother s recipe to share. Rich with the insight that age brings, elegant portraits, diverse recipes, and techniques unique to a region, a grandmother and her family, this is a book to pass down through generations.
