Author(s) Suzanne Rutland AbstractBook Review: Elana Benjamin has produced a warm and detailed account of her family's story, as they moved from Baghdad to Bombay (now Mumbai) and finally to Sydney, Australia. Whilst its title might indicate that it is a recipe book, this is certainly not the case. Rather, with loving strokes, she has created a detailed picture of everyday life for Jews living in Bombay during the British rule, followed by the disintegration of the community in the post-independence period.
