Bread and Wine by Shauna Niequist

Author of the New York Times bestseller Present Over Perfect, Shauna Niequist provides the perfect read for those who love food and value the community and connection of family and friends around the table.

Bread & Wine is a collection of essays about family relationships, friendships, and the meals that bring us together. This mix of Anne Lamott and Barefoot Contessa is a funny, honest, and vulnerable spiritual memoir. Bread & Wine is a celebration of food shared, reminding readers of the joy found in a life around the table. It's about the ways God teaches and nourishes people as they nourish the people around them. It's about hunger, both physical and otherwise, and the connections between the two.

With wonderful recipes included, from Bacon-Wrapped Dates to Mango Chicken Curry to Blueberry Crisp, readers will be able to recreate the comforting and satisfying meals that come to life in Bread & Wine.

Cold Tangerines, Bittersweet, Bread & Wine, and Savor are all written by Shauna Niequist. She is married to Aaron and has two crazy, silly, and adorable boys named Henry and Mac. They live just outside of Chicago, where Aaron is the director of The Practice and is working on a new liturgy project called A New Liturgy. Shauna also contributes to the Storyline Blog and IF: Table, is a member of the Relevant podcast, and teaches at her church as a guest teacher. Family, dinner parties, and books are Shauna's three major loves, and she believes that vulnerable storytelling, hard laughter, and cold pizza for breakfast can cure practically everything.
