"Food is best served with a healthy portion of love and personality. That’s exactly what Aimee Zaring’s scrumptious book, Flavors from Home, delivers. In addition to accessible culinary instruction on an array of global recipes, readers receive the vivid life histories of the cooks themselves. What comes through most poignantly is the resilience and hope of these cooks--people who change the place they’ve come to as much as they are changed by it. Cookbook? Biography? History? Personal essay? Yes. Flavors from Home is all of the above, and then some. Read it (snacks within reach!) and redefine your sense of the kitchen, and Kentucky, as refuge." -- Neela Vaswani, author of You Have Given Me a Country

"We hope that the entire Commonwealth of Kentucky will read this book to better understand the positive changes being made by these refugees. It will appeal to everyone with a love of food and/or an interest in evolving culture." -- Paul & Angela Knipple, authors of The World in a Skillet: A Food Lover’s Tour of the New American South

In Flavors from Home, Aimee Zaring has crafted not just a book of delicious recipes, but a beautiful meditation on exile, place, and cultural identity. The moving stories of these cooks and their recipes are a feast for the spirit. -- Jason Howard, author of A Few Honest Words

"Through the author’s entry into the kitchen and foodways of a representative cross section of our diverse refugee population, we truly are made to feel ‘at home’ with our new neighbors….This book plays a vital role in breaking down barriers. The universal language of food and the sharing in the breaking of bread, provide an ‘in’ for those unfamiliar with refugee resettlement who might be curious about all the newcomers in town but are unsure how to connect." -- Sophie Maier, Immigrant Services Librarian, Louisville Free Public Library
