She explores neighborhood markets and 4H fairs, talks to dedicated farmers and butchers, and explains how even her children relate to the cow in the freezer. And her 45 delectable recipes - such as Workday Coffee-Aleppo Rubbed Pork Roast, Stacked Beef Enchiladas, Trinidadian Goat Curry, or Lamb Tagine with Pears and Sour Cherries - will inspire many a mouthwatering meal.

This Festschrift honoring the distinguished scholar Marketa Goetz-Stankiewicz (University of British Columbia), who was recently awarded the prestigious Boeschenstein Medal, provides new contributions on Central Europe written by renowned specialists. The primary focus of the volume is Central Europe after the fall of the Berlin Wall, but that signal event is perforce viewed in the context of earlier historical forces. In different ways the contributors to this book have taken up the theme of the literature of Central Europe in the shadow of the two dominant ideologies of this century: National Socialism and Marxist socialism. The perspectives from which they have approached this broad topic are extremely varied, as some authors treat events and trends that preceded the years in which the two systems collapsed, others deal with the period after the fall of the Berlin Wall. The book also contains a partial bibliography of Goetz-Stankiewicz's publications.
