In this delightful and heartwarming book, ABC Local Radio foodie Rilka Warbanoff takes us back more than 100 years and charts the course of her family’s journey from Bulgaria to contemporary Melbourne, through food. Through 180 recipes, she shares with us her happy, sad and frequently funny memories of family and food. From watching her mother and grandmother making filo pastry from scratch, to starting school in sixties Adelaide and hiding her salami sandwiches under the front seat of the family car because they were too ‘foreign’; from her joyous memories of the beautiful ‘name day’ cakes her mother would make for her and her twin sister, to the poignant memory of her beloved husband Bill relishing his favourite duck dish in hospital days before he died, Rilka shows how we can map our lives through food and memory, but most of all, she shows us how joyful life can be, when it is celebrated through food, family and friends.
