This biographical cookbook tells the story of culinary legend and author of nine award-winning cookbooks, Paula Wolfert, who was diagnosed with Alzheimer's in 2013, and shares more than fifty of her most iconic dishes as it explores the relationship between food and memory.

The gripping narrative traces the arc of Wolfert's career, from her Brooklyn childhood to her adventures in the farthest corners of the Mediterranean: from nights spent with Beat Generation icons like Allen Ginsberg, to working with the great James Beard; from living in Morocco at a time when it really was like a fourteenth century culture, to bringing international food to America's kitchens through magazines and cookbooks.

Anecdotes and adventuresome stories come from Paula's extensive personal archive, interviews with Paula herself, and dozens of interviews with food writers and chefs whom she influenced and influenced her-including Alice Waters,Thomas Keller, Diana Kennedy, André Daguin, and Jacques Pepin.
Wolfert's recipes are like no other: each is a new discovery, yielding incredible flavors, using unusual techniques and ingredients, often with an incredible backstory. And the recipes are organized into menus inspired by Wolfert's life and travels--such as James Beard's Easy Entertaining menu; a Moroccan Party; and a Slow and Easy Feast.

Unforgettable also addresses Wolfert's acknowledgement of the challenges of living with Alzheimer's, a disease that often means she cannot remember the things she did yesterday, but can still recall in detail what she has cooked over the years. Not accepting defeat easily, Wolfert created a new brain-centric diet, emphasizing healthy meats and fresh vegetables, and her recipes are included here.

Unforgettable is a delight for those who know and love Paula Wolfert's recipes, but will be a delicious discovery for those who love food, but have not yet heard of this influential cookbook writer and culinary legend.

Recensione

Every serious food person knows that Paula Wolfert changed our world, but in this book we learn what a fascinating time she had while she was doing it. Part biography, part cookbook, part history, Unforgettable introduces our greatest cookbook writer to the wider audience she deserves. There has never been a book quite like this one.―Ruth Reichl

Unforgettable is the story of the exacting, passionate, genuine, driven and indefatigable Paula Wolfert, the ultimate expert on the cooking of the Mediterranean. Emily Kaiser Thelin's well-written and poignant narrative recounts the tale of this true pioneer of American culinary history.―Jacques Pepin

Unforgettable is a brilliant summation of the resilience, exuberance, and expertise that we know and love of Paula Wolfert.―Mario Batali

All recipes are, in some way, an exploration of the link between food and memory. We cook the food we remember loving and, in so doing, make new connections and bonds. The amount of love, through food, Paula has given so many over the years makes this biography-cum-cookbook a truly wonderful project.―Yotam Ottolenghi

We're all truly indebted to Emily Kaiser Thelin, Eric Wolfinger, Andrea Nguyen, and Toni Tajima for capturing these beautiful, inspiring, and very important memories of Paula's life and travels.―April Bloomfield --Questo testo si riferisce a un'edizione alternativa kindle_edition.

Well-written, compassionate and the best of her recipes included

Recensito in Germania 🇩🇪 il 5 febbraio 2018

Paula Wolfert is one of my all-time heroes... and the book a worthy testament to her talents. It is very well written, compassionate, funny, self-deprecating while also not skirting about when it comes to the issue of Alzheimer's which Paula Wolfert is now suffering from. Totally recommend it, one of my favourite cookbooks of the year.

Why have I not heard of Paula Wolfert before now?

Recensito negli Stati Uniti 🇺🇸 il 27 novembre 2020

This was a former library book. (Yes, I bought it used- many of Wolfert's books are now out of print, and/or expensive in 'revised' editions- and so, only going by the blurbs on Amazon, I wasn't sure that I would like this memoir.) To say this book (and the woman it chronicles) is fascinating, is an understatement. It's a standard memoir, but with recipes tagged on. Unlike Julie Powell's 2005 'diary of an aspiring cook' [Julie & Julia] made famous by the Amy Adams/Meryl Streep film of the same name, Paula Wolfert's fame has largely (if not totally) been confined within the effete and isolationist 'foodie circles' of Manhattan and San Francisco, and among chefs of 'high degree.' Which is, in some ways, a shame. Following in the footsteps of Julia Child's [Bertholle/Beck] oeuvre, "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" [ 1961], Wolfert had just married, and escaped to Tangiers during the same period. Her cooking fame didn't really begin until a decade and more later, with the publication of her first book, 'Couscous and other good food from Morocco' [1973]. Since then, she has written/revised 8 other books, spanning 1973-2011.

While most of us in that '70's generation were just trying out Wendy's Hamburgers (1969) or Burger King's 'flame-broiled' offerings ('Hold the pickle, hold the lettuce') for the first time, Wolfert was already very far ahead of the culinary curve- sometimes, too far ahead! And that's probably why, though I was already (barely) an adult when 'Couscous' was released, it's taken me until 2020 and COVID to read of her amazing life.

The book is a chronology of a cooking detective's life, food obsessions, and recipes from each 'era' of Wolfert's life. While the cover art is quite 'Unforgettable' the writing is quite good, and the pictures and recipes are a visual and gustatory testament to a person whose own life might be the subject for a movie. Would I spend the time, money and special ordering on Amazon all the various spices in these recipes? Probably not. But I will try at least SOME of the recipes in this book, and maybe even order some of those pepper flakes mentioned in a lot of the recipes.

If you've mastered Julia's recipes, if Paleo and Keto is starting to be the 'same old, same old' maybe picking up one of Wolfert's books, that talk about the JOY of being a REAL cook, and actually cooking for others, might just be for you.

This book is even better than I expected!

Recensito negli Stati Uniti 🇺🇸 il 11 ottobre 2019

The book arrived faster than I anticipated, protected in plastic and a cardboard box. Great price, too. I have been a Paula Wolfert fan since discovering "Couscous and Other Good Foods From Morocco" years ago at the library, and then had to go out and buy it. "Unforgettable" is even better than I thought it would be, and I was expecting a lot! I received it yesterday, and although I am in the middle of reading another book, I began to read the first chapter. It is taking me longer than usual, because I also keep randomly looking at all the beautiful photos and reading recipes and marking them for future occasions. What an amazing woman! Thank you Emily Kaiser Thelin for this wonderful book.

One of my favorite books off 2017 for so many personal reasons

Recensito negli Stati Uniti 🇺🇸 il 11 novembre 2017

What a well researched, well written, thoroughly engaging, portrait of Paula. So well done, Emily, thank you!
As a former restaurant critic for one of the largest newspapers in North America, and its food editor, I had the pleasure of spending a few days with Paula in the early 1980s. We dined together, cooked together, and I found Paula's enthusiasm so infectious, and her recipes so sensorially stimulating, that I purchased all the gear needed to replicate her Moroccan dishes after she left town.
For a long time, I made b'stilla and many other dishes, which Paula had taught me -- and many of these recipes are in Emily Thelin's masterful profile of Paula.
I LOVED this book and congratulate Emily on the achievement. And a big shout-out and digital hug to Paula!
