“Life surrounded by characters, even painful, heartbreaking ones, is preferable to isolation”
I received this ARC from NetGalley. At first, I didn’t know what to expect from this memoir. I haven’t heard of the author before and I’m not a chef, but the premise sounded interesting.
The book became something unexpected- a collection of essays that showcase the connections made through group living, and the social issues that have shaped the author’s life and her family’s. It brings together social issues like the housing crisis, how communal living was impacted by Covid, and other social-economic issues. At the end of each essay was a recipe, pulling together how food and family can become one in communal living.
