Author and journalist Irris Makler joins Eliza for a bonus episode this week.

She's back in Australia from Jerusalem to launch her new book "Food is Love".

It contains the wisdom and cooking recipes of Jewish survivors of the Holocaust.

Irris allows these women to smile and reflect on how they rebuilt their lives after the horrors of the past.

The book will be launched in Sydney and Melbourne this week and is available in all good bookstores.
