There are two great sources of comfort in the world, among a few other things: books and food. Books that invite us in to stay awhile and recipes that bring together family and friends for unforgettable experiences. 

Books that embody both aspects are often incredibly satisfying, but I’ve learned something: don’t read them on an empty stomach. You’ll likely need to stop reading to satisfy your food cravings. =)

Today, I’m sharing three books NOT to read when you’re hungry…but perfect to read when you want to explore the connections between food, family and friendship.

Here are the books mentioned in this episode. You’ll find links to my Amazon or Bookshop affiliate stores. Thanks for your bookish support!
