You are what you eat, the saying goes, and you become who you eat it with. After a lifetime of curating dishes and dinner companions from Paris to Istanbul and Budapest to Beijing, G�n Benderli knows this better than most. Whether discussing genius over a meal with legendary poets Nazım Hikmet, Pablo Neruda, and Nicol�s Guill�n or making mayonnaise with the resistance fighter Bert, whether sitting at a banquet held by Chinese premier Zhou Enlai or peddling soup to her picky grandkids, A Cuisine of Exile finds this militant radio broadcaster turned award-winning translator dishing up a feast for the stomach, heart, and mind.

About the Authors

G�N BENDERLİ was twenty-one when she left Turkey in 1951 to escape a political mass arrest. She spent the rest of her life abroad, in cities such as Paris, Leipzig, and mostly Budapest, where she worked as a broadcaster for Hungarian Radio and a member of the banned Communist Party of Turkey (TKP). G�n has translated over a dozen Hungarian writers into Turkish and penned three volumes of memoirs, recounting her life and political work alongside names such as Nazım Hikmet and Sabiha Sertel. In 2024, she was awarded the Balassi Grand Prize for Literary Translation by the Hungarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
