This is a tale about accepting folks we love - folks we have to love and folks we choose to love, the families we're given and the families we make. It is the report of two women adrift in New York, a widow and an almost-orphan, each looking for someone she's lost. It is the report of how, even in occasions of grief and darkness, there are joys ready nearby. Lorca spends her life poring over cookbooks, making croissants and chocolat chaud, seeking out rare elements, all to earn the love of her distracted chef of a mother, who's now packaging her off to boarding college. In one previous effort to demonstrate herself essential, Lorca resolves to locate the recipe for her mother's ideal meals, an obscure Middle Eastern dish called masgouf. Victoria, grappling with her husband's death, has been fantasizing of the little princess they quit forty years back. An Iraqi Jewish immigrant who used to run a restaurant, she starts teaching preparing food lessons; Lorca subscribes. Along, they make cardamom pistachio cookies, baklava, kubba with squash. In addition they begin to believe they are linked by more than their love of food. Soon, though, they need to reckon with days gone by, the near future, and the truth - whatever it could be. Bukra fil mish mish, the Arabic saying goes. Tomorrow, apricots may bloom.
