Full Description
The superbly talented documentarian Heddy Honigmann (The Underground Orchestra, O Amor Natural, Metal & Melancholy) introduces us to her mother Sonia, who reaches our hearts through our stomachs. While our mouths water, she demonstrates her recipe for Polish vrennekes, folding her family’s tale of survival into the dough. Without unnecessary embellishment, she traces her path from the Polish shtetl Grabowiec to Lima, Peru in 1939. Her recipe is simple, the ingredients are cheap and readily available, and the result is always satisfying and sustaining. And life goes on.
