With this ambitious goal in mind, food writer and blogger Sasha Martin sets out to cook- and eat- a meal from every country in the world. In her heartfelt memoir, filled with longing and love, loss and forgiveness, she embarks on a culinary journey that becomes a story about the things that matter most to all of us. In the hardscrabble kitchen of her family's home in working-class Boston. Martin learns to cook at an early age. her teacher is her eccentric, wildly creative single mother- determined, despite a food stamp budget, to re-create the bustling immigrant kitchen of her own upbringing. Together, they construct whimsical, unusual recipes, from a 19-layer "German Tree" cake to a pizza made from cinnamon raisin toast. But her mother's unconventionality and indifference to authority-both her greatest strength and her Achillies' heel- lead to unforeseen consequences for Martin and her brother, Michael, including some tumultuous stints in foster care. Soon, Martin finds herself in a series of new homes abroad, far from everything and everyone she's ever loved. Cooking becomes her anchor, her through line, her way to belong.
