Eat Joy by Natalie Eve Garrett
Named a Best Cookbook of the Year byMartha Stewart Living"Magnificent illustrations add spirit to recipes and heartfelt narratives. Plan to buy two copies-one for you and one for your best foodie friend." -Taste of Home
This collection of intimate, illustrated essays by some of America's most well-regarded literary writers explores how comfort food can help us cope with dark times-be it the loss of a parent, the loneliness of a move, or the pain of heartache.
Lev Grossman explains how he survived on "sweet, sour, spicy, salty, unabashedly gluey" General Tso's tofu after his divorce. Carmen Maria Machado describes her growing pains as she learned to feed and care for herself during her twenties. Claire Messud tries to understand how her mother gave up dreams of being a lawyer to make "a dressed salad of tiny shrimp and avocado, followed by prune-stuffed pork tenderloin." What makes each tale so moving is not only the deeply personal revelations from celebrated writers, but also the compassion and healing behind the story- the taste of hope.
"If you've ever felt a deep, emotional connection to a recipe or been comforted by food during a dark time, you'll fall in love with these stories."-Martha Stewart Living
"Eat Joyis the most lovely food essay book . . . This is the perfect gift." -Joy Wilson (Joy the Baker)
