A gloriously evocative memoir of one family’s journey from Samarkand and Riga to Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, which will appeal to readers of Claudia Roden, Nigella Lawson and Stanley Tucci.
A gorgeous, evocative memoir of family, food and migration.

As a child, Or Rosenboim’s knowledge of her family history was based on the food her grandmothers cooked for her – round kneidlach balls in hot chicken broth, cinnamon-scented noodle kugel, deep-pink stuffed quinces and herby green rice with a squeeze of lemon juice. It was only after reading their recipe books once they had both died that she began to understand their complicated past.

Taking us from Samarkand and Riga to the Middle East, Air and Love is a deeply human retelling of some of the major moments of the twentieth century, and a family story of migration and belonging, suffused with recipes of the food made along the way.

Dr Or Rosenboim is an intellectual historian specializing in twentieth-century political ideas. She is Director of the Centre for Modern History at City University of London. She is a trained pastry chef (Cordon Bleu, Paris), and the founder of The Migrants’ Supper Club in London. Her award-winning book The Emergence of Globalism: Visions of World Order in Britain and the United States, 1939–1950 was published by Princeton University Press in 2017 (paperback, 2019). She has written for various international magazines and websites, and co-authored with Ilana Efrati an art and food book, Orto: Nature, Inspiration, Food (2019). She has lived in Tel Aviv, Bologna, Paris, Los Angeles, Cambridge and Florence, and now divides her time between London and Umbria.
