PREMIUM COLLECTOR’S EDITION 200+ Full-Color photographs + Memoir + Novel + 60 Recipes — First Edition A Culinary Quest. A Time-Travel Portal. An Epic Love. A Kitchen Revolution. A Fabled Feast of Memory, Myth, and Mediterranean Food “Prose that lingers on the tongue—rich as saffron, sharp as lemon, layered as Lebanese phyllo. A novel to be savored, in the tradition of Madeline Miller, Diana Abu Jaber, and Elif Shafak.” A NOVEL YOU CAN TASTE. A COOKBOOK YOU CAN READ LIKE MYTHOLOGY. What if your family recipes held a secret older than time? When chef Noura El-Qaysi climbs into her family's Beirut attic, desperate to save her failing restaurant, she discovers a talisman that shatters every boundary she knows. One heartbeat, she’s drowning in debt and her mother’s quiet nostalgia. The next, she’s barefoot in the spice markets of ancient Phoenicia — a world where food is power, prophecy, and the only currency that matters. To survive, Noura must cook her way into belonging. To return home, she must unlock a divine lineage hidden in recipes she thought she knew. To understand herself, she must taste 3,000 years of memory — one meal at a time.
