SUMMARY:Author Talk with Lynne Anderson – “Breaking Bread: Recipes
  and Stories from Immigrant Kitchens”
DESCRIPTION:Through stories of hand-rolled pasta and homemade chutney,
  local markets and backyard gardens, and wild mushrooms and foraged gr
 ape leaves— Breaking Bread: Recipes and Stories from Immigrant Kitch
 ens recounts in loving detail the memories, recipes, and culinary trad
 itions of people who have come to the United States from around the wo
 rld. Chef, teacher and author of this book, Lynne Christy Anderson, ha
 s gone into immigrant kitchens and discovered the power of food to rec
 all a lost world for those who have left so much behind and we are luc
 ky enough to have her in our own backyard. Lynne will be joining us fo
 r an evening of recounting stories including the people she has met al
 ong the way, who come from all over the world, but all have the same c
 onnection to food. We will also hear more about what inspired her to w
 rite this book and her realization of the powerful relationship betwee
 n food and culture.\n\nThe enticing, easy-to-prepare recipes feature s
 pecialties like Greek dolmades, Haitian soup joumou, Dominican sancoch
 o, Persian Kou Kou Sabzi, and Sudanese mulukhiyah. Together with Robin
  Radin’s beautiful photographs, these stories and recipes will inspi
 re cooks of all levels to explore new traditions while perhaps redisco
 vering their own culinary roots.\n\nBooks will be available for purcha
 se and Lynne will be on hand to sign copies following her reading and 
 discussion.\n\nCo-Sponsored by Slow Food Boston\n\nLynne Christy Ander
 son (www.lynnechristyanderson.com) is a writer, teacher, and cook who 
 lives in Jamaica Plain. For many years she worked professionally in aw
 ard-winning restaurants until she turned to a career in teaching, firs
 t working with immigrant adults learning English as a Second Language.
  Her students–mothers and fathers from places like Guatemala, Pakist
 an, Vietnam and Morocco, grandparents from Haiti, Cape Verde, Brazil, 
 and China–shared the triumph and loss that marked their coming to Am
 erica and the way that food lessened the struggle by serving as a link
  to the past and a bridge into the future. These stories led Lynne to 
 first consider the powerful relationship between food and cultural wel
 l-being and were the inspiration for her book, Breaking Bread: Stories
  and Recipes from Immigrant Kitchens. Lynne was the recipient of a Bre
 ad Loaf Rona Jaffe Foundation scholarship in non-fiction in 2008. Curr
 ently, she teaches at Boston College and Bunker Hill Community College
