When her father died before they had a chance to get the project started, Liz decided she would try it without him. She didn't know what to expect from volunteering with court-involved youth, but as a high school teacher she knew that teenagers are drawn to food-related activities, and as a daughter, she believed that if she and the kids made even a single dinner together she could check one box off of her father's long, unfinished to-do list. This is the story of what happened around the table, and how one dinner became one hundred dinners. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe kids picked the menus, I bought the groceries, Liz writes, and we cooked and ate dinner together for two hours a week for nearly three years. Sometimes improvisation in kitchens is disastrous. But sometimes, a combination of elements produces something spectacularly unexpected. I think that's why, when we don't know what else to do, we feed our neighbors. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCapturing the clumsy choreography of cooking with other people, this is a sharply observed story about the ways we behave when we are hungry and the conversations that happen at the intersections of flavor and memory, vulnerability and strength, grief and connection.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49898130735377,"sku":"CIN0525512438VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49928135115025,"sku":"GOR013816350","price":8.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49928683258129,"sku":"GOR011877772","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50075877966097,"sku":"CIN0525512438G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50452501233937,"sku":"CIN0525512438A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0525512438.jpg?v=1751040539","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-ie\/products\/home-made-book-liz-hauck-9780525512431","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
