About this ebook
Every meal tells a story. Leila's story begins as a child in the Middle East as she watches her just-out-of-jail father toiling in an orange grove.
Cooking for an Englishman follows Leila's journey across continents from childhood into adulthood. The story is told with humour and pathos - a potent combination blending the memory of food with the emotions of a girl growing up in an alien culture.
Each chapter is triggered by an incident, an adventure, a memory linked with food and is accompanied by an actual recipe.
“He gave out the stories like pieces of special cake, making the children hungry for them with the promise: ‘What I am telling you now you will never find in a book. What I am telling you, I swear by God, is true. It happened to me.’
