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