Cairo, 1937: French-born Colette Rossant is waiting out World War II among her father's Egyptian-Jewish relatives. From the moment she arrives at her grandparents' belle poque mansion by the Nile, the five-year-old Colette finds companionship and comfort among the other outsiders in her home away from home -- the cooks and servants in the kitchen. The chef, Ahmet, lets Colette taste the ful; she learns how to make sambusaks for her new friends; and she shops for semits and other treats in the Khan-al-Khalili market. Colette is beginning to understand how her family's culture is linked to the kitchen...and soon she will claim Egypt's food, landscape, and people as her own.
Apricots on the Nile is a loving testament to Colette's adopted homeland. With dozens of original recipes and family photographs, Colette's coming-of-age memoir is a splendid exploration of old Cairo in all its flavor, variety, and wide-eyed wonder.

Good size and stylish. Wish it could be made shorter
Size: One Size, Color: Black
This is a great purse and very stylish. Great size. Only think I wish is that I could have adjusted it to be much shorter of a hang. I am quite small so the size is great but I am going to poke a hole in it to make it shorter and then modify the end. It will then be perfect for a night out when I don’t need much to carry.

Gotta Love Kate Spade
Size: One Size, Color: Southwest Desert
This Kate Spade purse is a great size leather purse. It fits all the essential items. It is very fashionable for casual, and business casual. As with all Kate Spade purses, the quality is wonderful, bag is fully lines, with some small pockets inside. I also loved all the color choices, but I went with the Southwest Desert, and I do not regret my choice at all! The price point for this purse is in line with other designer purses this size.
