Colette Rossant Książki

It is 1947 and Paris is recovering from the war. As soon as Colette's family arrive from Cairo, her mother abandons her yet again. Terribly homesick, Colette finds solace in the kitchen with the cook Georgette, and discovers a love for French food. And it is through food that Colette finds happiness in Paris.

With the help of some mouth-watering recipes, this memoir guides us through a Cairo upbringing, and a Parisian adolesence.

Colette Rossant erlebte ihre turbulente Kindheit in der wohlhabenden Familie ihres Vaters in Kairo, wo sie bei ihren jüdischen Großeltern in einer Belle-Epoque-Villa am Nil aufwuchs. Ein Buch wie ein orientalisches Festmahl - farbenfroh, würzig und sinnlich.
