In the spring of 2018, Ryoko Sekiguchi (born 1970), a French-Japanese poet and essayist, came to Beirut to write a book about a city that had survived a devastating war, not yet suspecting that Lebanon would be hit by a new wave of street protests in the fall of 2019. Her "culinary chronicle" is a lyrical travelogue made up of many micro-chapters that echo the dishes and flavors of Beirut in different ways. Sekiguchi paints the gastronomic landscape of the city, recalling her encounters and discoveries made during this journey, Lebanese stories of war, nostalgia and revolution. The author talks about cuisine and food as a means of building bridges between people. Along with the flavors of Lebanese dishes, the text is imbued with a premonition of the coming catastrophe that soon struck Beirut.
