That included the food as well as sobremesa, tableside discussions that included everyone and sometimes continued for hours. It is the traditional food and cooking that I found most intresting. Although the author writes about both her life and that of other members of her family, for me the personal stories were not of great interest.

I couldn't finish it and can't recommend it. I love memoirs, especially when there is a culinary aspect. But this one irritated me so much that after slogging halfway through it I gave myself permission to stop the torture. Life is short and I have way too many books I want to read. I need to make better use of my time than to read out of obligation - and after all, I did read 152 pages of this 374-page book. What did I like about the book? The concept - "Sobremesa" is the act of sitting around the table and eating and talking, long after the actual meal is finished. I grew up in a family that held to this custom, which I still enjoy. The Latin cultural references were authentic: personalities, language, manners. The food references, including the recipes, were a highlight of the book. What didn't I like? Unfortunately, I didn't care for the narrator who was the focus of the book - Josephine Caminos Oria. She was whiney and spoiled and unlikeable. If the book is a story of your life, you'd better be likable because you're on every page. Not only was she annoying and obnoxious, she didn't write well. Every chapter was too long, and the book as a whole needed an objective person to tighten it up. I just didn't care about her or her romantic experiences. How she met her husband, the mystical encounters with the spirit world (yes, it was that kind of book), how she developed her own business and learned to listen to herself - and that last item is from the book jacket because I didn't actually get that far in the book. Another thing lacking were photos. She came from a large, loving family. She mentions all the photos her family has in their many homes (around the world), yet the only photo is the author's headshot at the back of the book. Honestly, this book was not for me.

"Sobremesa reads like a cross between magical realism and the food section of the New York Times. Delicioso!" -- Beth Ostrosky-Stern, New York Times Bestselling Author If food is the universal language of love, sobremesa is the romance. Gather around the table with C-level career woman turned foodpreneur, Josephine Caminos Oría, as she cooks up a magical tale, told morsel by morsel, of some of her most memorable tableside chats-- sobremesas --that provided the first-generation Argentine-American the courage to leave the safe life she knew and start over from scratch. In her coming-of-age adventure, Josephine travels to her family's homeland of Argentina in search of belonging--to family, to country, to a love, and ultimately, to oneself. Steeped in the lure of Latin culture, she pieces together her mom and abuela's pasts, along with the nourishing dishes--delectably and spiritually--that formed their kitchen arsenal. But Josephine's travels from las pampas to the prairie aren't easy or conventional. She grapples with mystical encounters with the spirit world that lead her to discover a part of herself that, like sobremesa , had been lost in translation. Just as she's ready to give up on love all together, Josephine's own heart surprises her by surrendering to a forbidden, transcontinental tryst with the Argentine man of her dreams. To stay together, she must make a difficult choice: return to the safe life she knows in the States, or follow her heart and craft a completely different kind of future for herself--one she never saw coming. This otherworldly, multigenerational story of a daughter's love and familial culinary legacy serves up, in 13 courses, the timeless traditions that help Josephine navigate transformational love and loss. It's a reminder that that home really is anywhere the heart is. Sobremesa invites you to linger at the table, reveal your own hidden truths and savor the healing embrace of time-honored food and the wisdom it espouses. The memoir Sobremesa is a reminder of a slower time, an exuberant, passionate place, and love as vast as the Argentine pampas. - Foreword Reviews Foreword by Sofía Pescarmona, CEO and Owner, Lagarde Winery Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
