奶奶的菜谱：甜点如何盗取了爱丽丝的烹饪书

Alice Urbach, a Jewish girl from Vienna, loved cooking from an early age. She had an unhappy marriage; her husband was an alcoholic and a gambler who squandered her entire dowry. After her husband's death, Alice supported her family through her exceptional culinary skills, built a career, opened a cooking school, and published best-selling cookbooks. Under Nazi rule, she lost her home and business, fleeing to England where she worked as a maid for a wealthy woman in a castle, and later cared for Jewish girls orphaned by the war in a "children's home." Her younger son was imprisoned in Dachau concentration camp. Her elder son initially sought refuge in Shanghai, then immigrated to the United States, becoming an intelligence officer fighting against the Nazi regime. After the war, Alice moved to New York to start a new life. When she returned to Vienna, she discovered her best-selling cookbook was still being sold, but with a stranger's name on the cover. Did this man, who called himself a "culinary master" in the book, really exist? Who was he? Could Alice reclaim her book? To research her grandmother's "stolen" cookbook, the author of this book, Alice's granddaughter Karina Urbach, traveled to archives in Vienna, London, and Washington, uncovering letters, tapes, and video files long thought lost. These revealed the legendary fate of Alice's family, and also an untold chapter in the history of Nazi Germany's crimes—the systematic theft of Jewish intellectual property by the Nazis.
