When Miriam Green’s mother, Naomi Cohen, was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s at age 69, Green found herself in the role of caregiving for the parent who once cared for her. 
Green admits that no one is fully prepared for facing this disease, which affects around 50 million people worldwide. An award-winning poet who lives in Be’er Sheva, Israel, Green turned to cooking and writing as a coping mechanism, and began recording family recipes.
