Some of these stories were captivating and others were just medium. Overall a lovely collection and definitely some wholesome threads. 3.5.

I read most of this on an anxious late night I couldn't fall asleep and it was perfect. I didn't feel very invested in it at first; I feel like I don't normally enjoy anthologies because each essay is hit or miss and the variety is disorienting, but there is something about the pacing of this book and the thematic sections that really makes it work. Probably closer to 3.5 stars but I really was comforted by these essays and the very human recipes.

A good mix of stories about events in people’s lives and how food enriches them. I laughed, I cried, and I tried a recipe

I savored this essay collection over several months after finding it at a cute indie bookstore Off Square Books. I enjoyed the illustrations of the food along with the stories from the different authors. I think this would be a great gift for foodies, people who like memoirs, food writing, or to share a story from a favorite author.

This books is the compilation of the author's experience about food and cooking! One of my favorite when one of the author said she have to breakup with her bf since she doesn't want to be impress his mom.. I also loves how the author told their story intimately in this books especially children homemade food and their comfort food..
This pieces is also contains with recipes too so you can try what the author actually cooking is
