03 / A note from Farid
She never wrote a recipe down.
My mother was Emmi to me. Her recipes lived in her hands: a pinch from the spice drawer, a taste from the spoon, another squeeze of lemon. In my twenties, the riverside grill houses of Zahle taught me a different kind of patience.
After she passed, I began writing down what I remembered. This book brings those two kitchens together, with exact quantities and plain steps, so you can put her wings, rice, salads and garlic potatoes on your own table.
