The World at Our Table:
A Euro-American Cookbook of Family Favorites
Rachel Miranda has engaged in a lifelong pursuit of community through home cooking, from her childhood in Zurich, through her years of maintaining a kosher household while raising four children in Connecticut, to her dinners in Washington, D.C. for friends from all over the world. Here, for the first time, she has collected ninety-three sumptuous recipes that reflect the range of her culinary influences: farm-centered dishes from Switzerland and recipes infused with the distinctive flavors of neighboring Italy and France are inventively mingled with foods native to the Americas, and rounded out by cherished Eastern European Jewish classics.
The World at Our Table is an invaluable guide for beginning and practiced cooks alike, providing precise instructions, thoughtful explanations, and the author’s Cooking Tips to Live By. This unique narrative cookbook interweaves vibrant illustrations by artist Serena Faye Feingold with food origin stories, family anecdotes, and Rachel Miranda’s invitation for each of us to rediscover the power of home-cooked food to connect us to one another.

“I wasn't even all the way through reading before being ready to dive in. The recipes are straightforward and the addition of both the beautiful artwork and heartwarming, hilarious family tales make this a cookbook any home cook will enjoy.”
