Details
Please May bring May flowers and LOTS of Sun. While we wait for warmer weather I decided to do something a little different by adding two books to this month.
Love and Saffron: A Novel of Friendship, Food, and Love by Kim Fay (less than 200 pgs)
Set in the 1960s an L.A.-based Joan writes a fan letter to Camano Island, WA columnist Imogen to thank her for her column in a Pacific Northwest-based magazine, enclosing a packet of saffron and a recipe, a lasting friendship is born. The women become pen-friends, exchanging letters that move from the topic of food to the troubles.
Plus
Garlic and Saffphires by Ruth Reichl (350 pgs)
Renowned food critique's bestselling memoir of her time as an undercover restaurant critic for The New York Times
We'll pick a foodier venue for this meet up.
See you soon,
