Really beautiful. The relationship between Michelle and her mother feels very similar to mine and my mom so reading this felt really tender during some bits. Really enjoyed this life story!

This book resonated with me because even now, I find connection to my dad through the foods he liked, that we shared. Food was always big and important, albeit not always fancy, in our household; much the same as food was so important in Michelle’s household growing up. If you’ve lost a parent, I think this book will have something relatable for you in it. I felt deeply touched by the author’s willingness to expose so much of herself and the love she has for her mother in this memoir. I truly felt connected to their family through the stories she shared.
