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.
