Before hummus was available in every grocery storebefore shakshuka was a dish on every brunch menuJoan Nathan taught home cooks how and why they should make these now-beloved staples themselves.

Nathan shares her storyof marriage, motherhood, and a career as a food writer; of a life well-lived and centered around mealsand she punctuates it with all the foods she has come to love.

With over 100 recipes from roast chicken to rugelach, from matzoh ball soup to challah and brisket, here are updated versions of her favorites. But here too are new favorites: Salmon with Preserved Lemon and Zaatar; Fragrant Spiced Chicken with Rice, Eggplant, Peppers, and Zucchini; Mahammar (a Syrian pepper, pomegranate and walnut dip); Moroccan Chicken with Almonds, Cinnamon and Couscous; Joans version of the perfect Black and White Cookies.

This is a treasury of recipes and storiesand an invitation to a seat at Nathans table.
