Bread and Salt Between Us: Recipes and Stories from a Syrian Refugee's Kitchen

Bread and Salt Between Us: Recipes and Stories from a Syrian Refugee's Kitchen by Mayada Anjari, with Jennifer Sit, is a heartfelt cookbook-memoir that weaves traditional Syrian recipes with a powerful story of resilience and new beginnings. Organized around everyday meals, celebrations, and sweets, the book shares approachable dishes like kibbeh, fatayer, tabbouleh, and rose-scented rice pudding, alongside reflections on displacement, community, and hospitality. Warm, intimate, and deeply human, it celebrates food as a bridge between cultures — and as an enduring symbol of welcome and home.
