This week, Gilly is with Alissa Timoshkina whose book Salt and Time, a Waitrose one-to-watch for 2021, takes us into the Russian kitchen of her childhood, but also prods at many universal questions of food, identity and being a woman. As she takes us through her four food moments, we meet the Jewish Siberian matriarchs, her mother, grandmother and great grandmother whose food has literally shaped her and her own journey into motherhood.
