Setting a Place for Us arrived yesterday and I already know it’s going to be sitting by my bedside for the foreseeable future so I can really dive in! Love Hawa and everything she does!
glad to see this covered...it's a very narrow window of the cooking community (and demographic) that drives viral recipes that the media loves so...beautiful, beguiling photos and the mantus call out!
The photos throughout the book are stunning. I love the mix of location and recipe shots. Hawa said she wanted the book to be transporting and it truly is. Thanks for reading!
I have my copy of Setting the Place on my bedside for a deep dive tonight in bed! Hawa's writing is so moving, and this book is deeply vital! Thanks for sharing this Q+A, Jenna.
Just that one photo of Egypt makes me curious about the book: It's so atmospheric and evocative. It took me right back to a trip that is now more than 20 years behind me.
I love this! Thank you for the introduction to Hawa. These books seem magical and transportive and delicious (I am front and centre anywhere there is a good dumpling) both books are now on my list!

I find her really, deeply impressive!

I think you’ll love it. Happy reading!
What a deeply moving book. I can’t wait to get a copy and read more about Hawa’s story
It’s a really remarkable book. The personal and the global so well intertwined. I was very impressed!

The book is full of photos like that!

I am with you on the dumplings! And agree—these books are really special. Thanks for reading!
