At the time former restaurateur Donia Bijan began writing down memories of her parents’ lives,

she was wracked by grief over the unexpected and gruesome death of her beloved mother, Menlo Park resident Atefeh “Amy” Bijan. Ms. Bijan, the owner and chef of the highly regarded L’Amie Donia restaurant in Palo Alto, now closed, felt compelled to leave a record for her son and her sisters’ children about their grandparents, who immigrated to the United States after being exiled from their homeland in 1978, at the beginning of the Iranian Revolution. The project of remembering through writing germinated as Ms. Bijan sorted through her mother’s possessions, eight days after Amy Bijan, still vital and fit at 75, was struck and killed by a car while walking in a crosswalk on Santa Cruz Avenue in January 2004. Entering her mother’s home a few days after the funeral, Ms. Bijan worked somberly amid the scent of tea and roses, “sorting and packing the boxes I had lined up by her cabinets like little coffins, fill-ing them with cups and saucers wrapped in newspaper, and spoons, spatulas, and whisks,” she would write later. During the course of packing up, Ms. Bijan came across a collection of papers

tucked into a kitchen drawer — news-paper clippings from food sections and loose pages from notepads with recipes written, in English and in Farsi, in her mother’s hand. They were recipes for American dishes, dating back to the year her parents arrived in this country, leav-ing behind all their possessions, includ-ing the hospital they built and operated, to be looted in the frenzy of revolution. It was then that Ms. Bijan began mus-ing about the connection between food and belonging — the link between the ritual of the table and the ability to find one’s place in the world. “I knew when I found those recipes that something was there, and that I was going to find that something — I was going to find the key to open the door,” she says during a recent interview in the sunny backyard of the Menlo Park home she shares with her husband, artist Mitchell Johnson, and their 10-year-old son, Luca. Her mother, she says, “had Persian cui-sine down,” but when she lost her home-land, she had an instinctual understanding that embracing the cuisine of her adopted country would allow her to find a place in the new, sometimes baffling world in which she found herself transplanted.

Earthquakes give clinic for youth soccer players The San Jose Earthquakes and the Menlo Park-Atherton AYSO Region 109 held a soccer clinic on Aug. 31 at Burgess Park in Menlo Park. Five Earthquakes players — including two Menlo Park resi-dents, Bobby Burling and Jason Hernandez — led kids age 9 and above through an hour-long skills clinic. The clinic was for soccer players who had regis-tered for the fall 2011 session. “Bobby and I love getting out into the community and any time you get to do something special in your own backyard, it means even more,” said said Hernandez, No. 21 on the San Jose Earthquakes. Rex Bessler, an AYSO Region 109

player and Menlo Park resident, said he goes to the Earthquakes games, so getting to see the players up close was “really amazing.” “The players were friendly and encouraging,” he added. As part of the ongoing collabora-tion between Menlo Park-Ather-ton AYSO Region 109 and the San Jose Earthquakes, more than 1,600 children who are part of the region had a chance to attend the Sept. 10 game between San Jose Earthquakes and Chicago Fire. AYSO Region 109 is an all-volunteer youth soccer league that serves the Menlo Park-Atherton community. It has 140 teams, 430 coaches, and 170 referees. AYSO Region 109 is an all-volunteer organization.

New director for Djerassi artists program

Arts & crafts fest in Menlo Park

Margot H. Knight is the new director of the Djerassi Resident Artists Program in Woodside, an internationally recognized art-ist community. Since 2001, Ms. Knight has served as presi-dent and CEO of United Arts of Central Flori-da, headquartered in the Orlando area. She succeeds Dennis O’Leary, who retired in August after serving as the program’s executive director for 14 years. Ms. Knight will take up her new duties in November. Now in its 33rd year, the Djer-assi program offers free four-week residencies to visual artists, writ-ers, media artists, composers and choreographers from the United States and abroad. The mission of the program is to enhance the creativity of artists by providing uninterrupted time for work, reflection and collegial interaction in a setting of natu-ral beauty. The residencies have allowed more than 2,000 artists, about 90 a year, to concentrate on creative work away from the distractions of daily life. The Djerassi Resident Artists Program was founded in 1979 by Stanford University Professor Emeritus Carl Djerassi. It is located at 2325 Bear Gulch Road in Wood-side. Rodney Pearlman is chairman of the Djerassi board of trustees.

More than 90 artists and craftspeople will take part in the 15th Menlo Park Sidewalk Arts & Crafts Fall Fest on Friday, Oct. 14, through Sunday, Oct. 16, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day. Artists will be on hand to visit with patrons, with some demon-strating their crafts during the festival. Paintings, jewelry, pho-tography, wood items, clothing, accessories, toys and much more will be for sale during the annual event. Visit tinyurl.com/Fest-193 for more information.

P E O P L E

“She found that you can lose everything, lose your home even, and find a sense of place in the kitchen,” Ms. Bijan says. “It doesn’t matter where that kitchen is. ... It’s the power of food: You can hit rock bottom and a taste can cure you — give you something sensory to hold on to. It’s what will bring you comfort at the end of the day.” As grief clouded her days and memories of her mother overwhelmed her, Ms. Bijan wrote. “There was nothing else I could do,” she says. “I was incapacitated.” She also closed her restaurant that year after 10 years, finding that continuing “was just too much” — particularly with a 2-year-old son whom her mother had helped care for during Ms. Bijan’s long days in the popular bistro’s kitchen. The writing project consumed several years, but she had no intention of publishing the work. It was the relentless encouragement of her husband, she says, that led her finally to seek a publisher. The result is “Maman’s Homesick Pie: A Persian Heart in an American Kitchen,” which is being released next week. The book is billed by publisher Algonquin as a memoir, and each chapter concludes with recipes, some reflecting Amy Bijan’s culinary passions and skills, others developed by Donia Bijan as she melded flavors of Persian, French and other cuisines. Its narrative moves back, forth and beyond geo-graphically — from Tehran, where Ms. Bijan was born and lived until she was 15, when the family left for a vacation in Spain but was unable to return home after the country exploded in turmoil; to the United States, where the entire family eventually settled and Ms. Bijan took a degree in French from the University of California, Berkeley; to France, where Ms. Bijan was trained at the Paris-based Le Cordon Bleu Culi-nary Arts School and years later interned for months in two eminent restaurants in French villages. Ms. Bijan explains early on in the book that she had written “in an attempt to find answers to the ques-tions I never asked my parents, such as ‘How did it feel

to start your life from nothing?’” But as she calls upon her memories to delve into that question, another critical element of the book emerges: The writer is compelled to examine her own experiences and complex feelings as an exile — remaining devoted to her parents, honoring the culture they thrived in for six or more decades, yet knowing she must find her own place at life’s table. That quest proved a challenge for the naturally shy Donia, the youngest of the late Dr. Bijan Bijan and Amy Bijan’s three daughters. But the writer describes the journey with penetrating insight, reflecting on her experiences with a sometimes jarring honesty. “I didn’t want the book to be sentimental,” Ms. Bijan says. “A lot of memoirs can be like country music: ‘I lost my love, I lost my pickup truck, I lot my dog ...’ It’s tricky — it’s easy to fall into the sentimental trap.” Regarding the book’s title, Ms. Bijan explains in an email: “Homesick pie is the sum of the long-ing and hunger I feel when I make my way to the kitchen, almost like sleep walking! And if someone were to look through our kitchen window, they would see a pair of busy hands peeling, chopping, mixing flour, butter, eggs for our dinner, but also finding other nourishment in bringing us to the table to share that meal. ... There is more than just eating when we break bread.” Food as an essential that satisfies and nurtures far more than our physical beings is a theme returned to again and again in “Homesick Pie.” Referring to the kitchen in the Bijan home soon after her parents immigrated to their new country, Ms. Bijan writes: “Slowly we had been stocking our pantry with tur-meric, cumin, saffron, cinnamon, allspice, dried fruit, lentils, fava beans, and basmati rice. “In Iran, I had climbed onto the kitchen counter to look at my mother’s cooking spices, opening them one by one, taking in their prickly scent. Now, it reassured me to see them lined up again like stepping stones across a vast ocean.” A
