Uncle Aron's compliments, which hadn't changed since the days of
the Bible, didn't sound so great. One time, he told my mother that
she was awesome like an army with flags.' Another time, he informed
her that your nose is like the tower of Lebanon." Meet the village
it took to raise Gil Hovav - colourful aunts and uncles hailing
from one of the most respected lineages in the Jewish world (Hovav
is the great-grandson of Eliezer Ben-Yehuda, the reviver of the
Hebrew language). This book includes twenty-two funny and
heart-warming stories awash with love and longing for the people
who raised one skinny and cross-eyed Jerusalemite boy to love
poor-man's food, to love proper Hebrew and, most importantly, to
love people. The nostalgic writing is dished up with more than
twenty delicious family recipes with the seal of approval from Gil
Hovav, the man who has played a major role in the remaking of
Israeli cuisine and the transformation of Israel from a country of
basic traditional foods into a gourmet nation . Readers get to
chuckle at Hovav's amusing recollections and salivate over his
family recipes for sweet sour chorba tomato soup and his Aunt
Levana's eggplant and feta bourekas. If you've ever wondered how to
make hilbeh or slow-cooked eggs (or if you're simply itching to
expand your culinary repertoire), this book is for you. As
wholesome and warming as a homecooked meal, Candies from Heaven
will appeal to anyone who treasures good food and relationships
built on love. Dig in, dear readers, pleasure is served.
