by Bonnie Lawrence Shear (Author)
Celebrations and photographs, anecdotes, and recipes to bring families together around the dinner table...
This wonderfully written memoir provides a lens into the world of a young girl as she grows into a woman in an Upper Middle Class Jewish family in 1940s' Toronto.
Taking the reader on a journey of reminiscence, with humour and food for the soul, the author shows the significant role of meals in her everyday life, and how they form a foundation for family and the creation of beautiful memories.
Travel with Bonnie as she explores the restaurants and shops of an ever-evolving Toronto, and introduces an eclectic group of personalities, from Louis Armstrong, Oscar Peterson, and even the Ink Spots, who live in the richness of Bonnie's life and dance across the pages of this heart-warming reflection of culture and heritage, food and connection.
