Soup: A Way of Life

In this stunningly rich and wide-ranging book, Barbara Kafka gives soup a new vitality. Though the subject is so familiar to us all, her approach is totally original. In a wonderfully diverse collection of nearly three hundred recipes from all over the world - some traditional, some newly minted, many so simple they require no cooking at all, each of them very much a part of our spiritual and emotional lives - she offers up a lifetime's worth of pleasure.
