Lessons In Fusion: A Novel

Autor Primrose Madayag Knazan
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 sep 2021
Ages 12 years & over. Sixteen-year-old Sarah (its pronounced SAH-rah, thank you) has a successful blog creating fusion recipes. When Sarah is invited to compete on Cyber Chef, a virtual cooking competition, her twists on her Baba's recipes are not enough to pique the palate of the show's producers. She is pushed to present dishes that represent her Filipino culture, but these flavours are foreign to her since her parents raised her emphatically Jewish. To survive Cyber Chef and find her cultural identity, Sarah must discover why her mother turned her back on all things Filipino, and learn the true meaning of fusion.

Recenzii

"Lessons in Fusion is a timely and nuanced novel that delves into numerous issues around race and culture, especially the pressures faced by young people with blended heritage. -- Quill & Quire
A thoroughly satisfying read." -- Robin Ahamedi, Canadian Childrens Book News
Lessons in Fusion is very modern and includes social media as well as the difficulties of life during a pandemic, yet it is also the timeless story of one young woman who is coming of age as she discovers her familial roots and the much bigger story of the need for diversity and cultural acceptance in all facets of life. -- Highly Recommended, CM Magazine
This story was a wonderful journey, filled with cultural exploration, developing relationships, and clever realism -- brought together through the sharing of good food. -- The Ampersand Review
"Sarahs journey will engage readers who may even be inspired to explore their own family stories." Jewish Book Council
