Recipes from The Bread and Salt Between Us
Organized by everyday fare, celebrations, and sweets, The Bread and Salt Between Us offers over forty recipes that recall the flavor and comforts of Mayada’s home in Syria. From the fresh tabbouleh she learned to prepare alongside her mother and sisters to the rice pudding that won over her future husband, these easy-to-approach dishes tell the story of a family whose culinary traditions have sustained them as they built a new life in the United States.
To show her gratitude to the community that sponsored her family’s resettlement, Mayada prepared a meal. This simple act of sharing food ignited an outpouring of support. A regular supper series ensued, drawing crowds that were as enthusiastic to help her family as they were to enjoy her cooking. The story of Mayada’s journey is beautifully chronicled in this personal recipe collection. All proceeds from sale of this book will directly benefit Mayada’s family and members of the refugee community.
