A book worth waiting for

With our own hands

An old friend, Frederik van Oudenhoven, and his friend and colleague Jamila Haider, are deep in the proofs of what looks to be a wonderful book. With Our Own Hands “tells, for the first time, the cultural and agricultural history of the Afghan and Tajik Pamirs, one of the world’s least known and most isolated civilisations”. Should be a great read, with stunning photographs to accompany the local recipes, essays, stories and poetry. Better yet, generous donors are allowing 1800 copies to travel back to the Pamirs to be given to communities, schools, cooks and libraries.

If you’re interested, you should pre-order. Details here.

  1. How wonderful. I am riveted by the story. Food brings people together, but, more importantly, it reveals a culture, agriculture, and ultimately, a society. Thank you for sharing, Jeremy.
