  • Descrição: (Oct.) Review by Staff A Dream Called Home: A Memoir, Atria Books, Reyna Grande, 26 (336p) ISBN 978-1-5011-7142-0 Novelist Grande ( The Distance Between Us ) writes with strength and passion of her life's journey-from her birth in a shack in the poverty-stricken Mexican town of Iguala, to success as an author in the U.S. The memoir opens with Grande leaving Los Angeles to attend UC Santa Cruz at age 21, on her way to becoming the first in her family to earn a college degree; her parents, both naturalized citizens, were not educated beyond elementary school. Stunners include pearl barley salad with shiitake mushrooms, beetroot, and feta, and beef shigureni, in which thinly sliced beef is stir-fried with ginger, soy sauce, mirin, sugar, and sake, then placed atop a leaf of iceberg lettuce with Japanese mayonnaise and dusted with spices and angel hair chilis. [...]Garten's own style doesn't shine through. Dishes include a banana bread he sampled on a Fiji island with "an open-ocean reef pass considered to be the best in the South Pacific"; sashimi francaise, a poke/seviche mash-up that incorporates coconut milk and brown sugar; a luscious Salvadoran seafood soup; and shrimp phyllo purses with tomato chermoula sauce from the Moroccan coast, where they set their surfboards down "next to a coiled viper."
