where The reading is just as nourishing as the cooking

Some of my favorite moments in the kitchen don’t start with a recipe: they start with a story.

Welcome to the place where I want to share the books that have found their way onto my kitchen counter and into my heart. Cookbooks with family connections, food memoirs that spark inspiration, stories that make me hungry in the best possible way. (and if you’ll take a closer look, many are filled with handwritten notes and splatters from years of use) Whether it’s a collection of cherished recipes] passed down through generations, a food story that shaped how I see the table, or a recipe I was lucky enough to have featured, this is where I’ll gather those pages.
