Annotation:
One of a growing number of memoirs that are woven from the strands of both wartime and food, DAY OF HONEY springs into its unique life at the intersection of the personal and political in the Middle East. Ciezadlo, an American journalist, marries a Lebanese man and spends half a dozen years working in Baghdad and Beirut, mixing family and professional life while searching for human stories about survival in war-torn areas: how, in spite of dangerous and unstable environments, people continue to cook, travel, read, and communicate. She sees how the most ordinary meal can become a vital part of life--a sign of hope, community, and continuity under terrible circumstances. She examines the many meanings and functions of food, reflecting on her own experiences and sharing what she has learned from others, including her Lebanese mother-in-law, who has handed down to her the special treasure of age-old family recipes. In the final chapter, Ciezadlo presents the reader with a special gift: an array of recipes and comments on the foods and dishes she has mentioned throughout the book, a culinary summary of the journey she herself has undergone.
