Honeycake - A Family of Spices by Medea Kalantar

 

Treasures sometimes come in unexpected forms.

Honeycake - a Family of Spices written by Medea Kalantar is one such treasure.

While the whole world seems to be at loggerheads with each other here is a heartfelt story about inclusivity and a celebration of our differences.

A tale of a grandmother and her granddaughter that metaphorically through baking a cake takes children through the unique multicultural backgrounds that makes us, us.

“We are a family of spices!

 ...even though we look different and come from different places, we are all part of one race.

The human race”

A book truly filled with warmth, cheer and dollops of love.

For those of you like me, who get hungry while reading books about food, there is a section in the end with the author’s family recipe to make a honeycake. It’s also a lovely baking activity to do with your loved ones while you figure out what ‘family of spice’ you are.

 

Happy Reading☺
