Shaya

Shaya's memoir begins in Israel and wends its way from the U.S.A. to Italy, back to Israel, and comes together in the American South, in the heart of New Orleans. Shaya tells of how food saved his life and how, through a circuitous path of (cooking) twists and (life-affirming) turns his celebrated cuisine-- food of his native Israel with a creole New Orleans kick-- came to be.
