Day Of Honey : A Memoir of Food, Love, And War
by Annia Ciezadlo

Can you imagine spending your honeymoon in Baghdad? That is exactly what Annia Ciezadlo did in 2003. Both she and her husband, Mohamad, were reporters and they spent the next six years living in Beirut and Baghdad. Even though Annia wrote political articles, her forte was to use food as a panorama for the Middle East. She writes of these delicious meals (there's a whole chapter in the back of the book of recipes). I never did get to try them out. The book started to drag for me halfway through and became rather tedious. Way too many metaphors.
I was looking forward to reading this book and it was a disappointment.
Not recommended.
