Reviewer: Elizabeth Kahn. Former Librarian and Media Specialist ; Patrick F. Taylor Academy and Tulane University
How to Share an Egg is a poignant culinary memoir by Bonny Reichert, blending personal narrative with themes of survival, identity, and intergenerational trauma. Reichert, a chef and award-winning journalist, reflects on her upbringing as the daughter of a Holocaust survivor. Her father, who endured starvation in Auschwitz-Birkenau, instilled in her a profound respect for food's role in sustaining both body and spirit. The memoir delves into Reichert's journey of understanding her father's past, her own culinary path, and the healing power of shared meals. A pivotal moment occurs during a trip to Poland, where a bowl of borscht reconnects her with her heritage and propels her into a deeper exploration of her family's history.
