Book Description
The Armenians living in villages on the mountain of Musa Dagh, Syria had a cuisine that was distinct from the traditional cooking of Armenians throughout the rest of of the Middle East. This book preserves the recipes from that area, a small Armenian homeland that the residents evacuated in 1939 when it was transferred from Syria to Turkey. Three sisters have teamed up to produce this wonderful cookbook that provides the recipes as taught to them by their mother and tell the stories of the village where they lived as youngsters.

Book Description
A powerful examination of soulful journeys made to recover memory and recuperate stolen pasts in the face of unspeakable histories. Survivors of the Armenian Genocide of 1915 took refuge across the globe. Traumatized by unspeakable brutalities, the idea of returning to their homeland was unthinkable. But decades later, some children and grandchildren felt compelled to travel back, having heard stories of family wholeness in beloved homes and of cherished ancestral towns and villages once in Ottoman Armenia, today in the Republic of Turkey. Hoping to satisfy spiritual yearnings, this new generation called themselves pilgrims—and their journeys, pilgrimages. Carel Bertram joined scores of these pilgrims on over a dozen pilgrimages, and amassed accounts from hundreds more who made these journeys. In telling their stories, A House in the Homeland documents how pilgrims encountered the ancestral house, village, or town as both real and metaphorical centerpieces of family history. Bertram recounts the moving, restorative connections pilgrims made, and illuminates how the ancestral house, as a spiritual place, offers an opening to a wellspring of humanity in sites that might otherwise be defined solely by tragic loss. As an exploration of the powerful links between memory and place, house and homeland, rupture and continuity, these Armenian stories reflect the resilience of diaspora in the face of the savage reaches of trauma, separation, and exile in ways that each of us, whatever our history, can recognize.

Book Description
Home Again combines a collection of Armenian recipes from the Ottoman Empire with a memoir of a family of immigrants who kept certain recipes close to their hearts as a means of preserving their cultural heritage. The author examines the relationship between history and cuisine, between displacement and memory, between the individual and their ancestors. Working over 10 years to collect authentic recipes from the descendants of Armenians who fled their homeland, the author brings forth a book that aligns some rare recipes with history and personal anecdotes of dozens of Armenian cooks. Reworking and testing recipes kept safe in family memories, this book brings them to life for the contemporary cook. Deftly combining her grandmother's recollections of daily life in the Ottoman Empire with the personal recollections of others, from different villages, Firkatian describes the recipes and experiences of those communities in loving prose. The book revives a lost world and invites the reader to imagine being a guest in her grandmother Iskouhi's home. The author has studiously preserved the ancient roots of the recipes while presenting them in a modern context. In addition to Armenian standards like stuffed grape leaves, there are many unique recipes. Stuffed mussels. Baked carp. Fruit leather. Potted meats. Bird's nest desserts. Author Mari Firkatian includes over 175 recipes and contextualizes them by sharing fragments of first hand recollections from the chefs themselves, the heirs to the culture. She punctuates the text with anecdotes, songs, personal experiences, and historic contexts to the particular regions she has highlighted. She has sourced the recipes of her grandmother's home village, outside modern day Bursa, as well as recipes from other Armenian towns. With a focus on over a dozen select Armenian regions in the Ottoman Empire this is a must have book for cooks eager to explore hidden treasures preserved by family cooks. The recipes are contemporary versions with simple instructions for any cook to follow and savor the dishes at home thereby visiting the past one bite at a time.
