Karen Mordechai's family history has its roots in the Jerusalem of the 1950s, when people from around the globe were coming together in a young country and forming their own way of living. When the family then emigrated to the United States they brought this way of cooking with them, along with the tradition of sharing and enjoying food. Mordechai believes that food's ability to bring people together is unparalleled and that the food you make is a compilation of the way you have lived. Thinking back over the food we eat, that is so true and for the first time I looked on a recipe book as an elegant way of seeing someone else's history.

===[[Five Ways to Cook Asparagus (and Other Recipes): the Art and Practice of Making Dinner by Peter Miller]]===

When you've been producing meals for around about half a century the chances are that, like me, you have a fairly regular set of menus which you produce. Hopefully it's not quite in the 'fishcakes! Goodness is it Friday already?' realm but you probably have something in your culinary locker for every occasion. It takes a very good book to make you settle down and actually read what it has to offer and it's an exceptional one where you end up with lots of dog-eared pages for recipes which you're going to try. The inspiration to read ''Five Ways to Cook Asparagus'' was simple and serendipitous - I'd just come home with the first of the season's English asparagus when the book arrived in the post. I couldn't ''not'' have a look, now could I? [[Five Ways to Cook Asparagus (and Other Recipes): the Art and Practice of Making Dinner by Peter Miller|Full Review]]
