Tells the remarkable story of the bagel's journey from the tables of seventeenth-century Poland to the freezers of middle America, a story of often surprising connections between a cheap market-day snack and centuries of Polish, Jewish, and American history.

Trade Review
"'Maria Balinska combines stories, history and hands-on experience with a style as brisk and toothsome as the crust of a freshly baked bagel and content as dense and flavourful as its skilfully handled dough.' Gillian Riley, author of The Oxford Companion to Italian Food"
