The problem only exists in Europe and not in countries such as India and the USA, where Amazon offers fair prices. We strongly recommend that you boycott ukbooks_de for this predatory business practice and buy the book from other vendors.)

A Cuisine of Exile

by Gün Benderli

translated and introduced by

Evrim Emir-Sayers & David Selim Sayers

You are what you eat, the saying goes, and you become who you eat it with. After a lifetime of curating dishes and dinner companions from Paris to Istanbul and Budapest to Beijing, Gün Benderli knows this better than most. Whether discussing genius over a meal with legendary poets Nazım Hikmet, Pablo Neruda, and Nicolás Guillén or making mayonnaise with the resistance fighter Bert, whether sitting at a banquet held by Chinese premier Zhou Enlai or peddling soup to her picky grandkids, A Cuisine of Exile finds this militant radio broadcaster turned award-winning translator dishing up a feast for the stomach, heart, and mind.
