<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Cairo, 1937: French-born Colette Rossant is waiting out World War II among her father's Egyptian-Jewish relatives. From the moment she arrives at her grandparents' belle époque mansion by the Nile, the five-year-old Colette finds companionship and comfort among the other outsiders in her home away from home -- the cooks and servants in the kitchen. The chef, Ahmet, lets Colette taste the <i>ful</i>; she learns how to make <i>sambusaks</i> for her new friends; and she shops for <i>semits</i> and other treats in the Khan-al-Khalili market. Colette is beginning to understand how her family's culture is linked to the kitchen...and soon she will claim Egypt's food, landscape, and people as her own. <br> <i>Apricots on the Nile</i> is a loving testament to Colette's adopted homeland. With dozens of original recipes and family photographs, Colette's coming-of-age memoir is a splendid exploration of old Cairo in all its flavor, variety, and wide-eyed wonder.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><i>Chicago Tribune</i> [Y]ou'll find vicarious pleasure in reading about this gourmet's life.<br><br><i>Daily News</i> (New York) [E]ngrossing not just for its lovely style of writing but because Rossant's life has been so unusual and interesting.
