A personal note from Andrea.
Sent following her Conversations with Authors session.
Thank you to everyone who tuned in to my conversation on Wednesday afternoon with Erin Gleeson.
It was an honor to be in great company and while it’s always a buzz kill to not be able to be with everyone in person, I’m deeply grateful for technology and the kind folks at Book Passage for helping me navigate this virtual event!
I hope that during these heavy and uncertain times that you can find a little comfort and nourishment in your kitchen. Thank you for supporting my book and for supporting such a wonderful independent bookstore. And of course, if and when you can, please support your local farmers!
If you’re looking for a few more cookbooks to keep you inspired to whip up tasty meals for you and your family, look no further than some of my favorites below.
Be safe, be kind and keep on cooking!
