Rory Miller settled in Bulgaria more than 15 years ago and is building an image as a culinary guru. He travels deep into the countryside, recording old grandma's local recipes and preserving them for posterity. His book tells not only of the delicious dishes prepared, as he says, 'eyeballing it' - a Bulgarian expression that is difficult to translate, but which means doing something without paying too much attention to detail - by the skilful housewives, but also of the warmth of their homes, their joys and pains.
