Here's what people are already saying about Braids…
“Braids is more than a collection of delicious recipes; it’s also a quilt of sacred stories about the relationship between food, culture, diaspora, and community. Between recipes for marionberry rugelach and the perfect challah, Sonya Sanford writes beautifully about coming of age as a chef; the profound relationship between food and Jewish practice; the magic of community; and the simple, transformative power of the vegetable after which her beloved Portland restaurant was named, the beet. “Cooking is a kind of magic,” writes Sanford, and it’s true; this is a book of magic spells, which will bring beauty and joy to its readers.
”
— Alicia Jo Rabins, writer, musician, composer, performer and Torah teacher.
“I’ve eagerly awaited this cookbook since I first tasted Sonya’s food at her restaurant, Beetroot Market & Deli. “Braids” is full of mouth-watering images, rich storytelling, and recipes that, even in my untrained hands, deliver beautiful, comforting meals. I can’t wait to read it cover to cover with a cup of tea, and then cook, eat, and host!
”
— Satya Doyle Byock, author of Quarterlife and director of The Salome Institute of Jungian Studies
