The recipes are perfectly placed, like musical interludes, and fun to read. The only thing better than reading this book would be having Emily Nunn in your kitchen, whipping up a generous batch of corn bread and pinto beans and making you laugh until you cry, or vice versa.” -- Mary Norris, author of Between You and Me: Confessions of a Comma Queen\u003cbr\u003e“I devoured this funny, brave, unexpected, mouth-watering story of a road trip, from bitterness to sweet, by a woman who faced the wipeout of life as she knew it by cooking up some comfort.  The act of preparing food, (and eating it!) as a way of addressing sorrow can be viewed as some kind of pathology, but to me, it’s one of the healthier ways a person can express love, and this marvelous memoir is a testament to just how that happens.” -- Joyce Maynard, author of Under the Influence","brand":"Atria Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52084936278359,"sku":"9781451674224","price":999.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781451674224.jpg?v=1762207628","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-comfort-food-diaries-9781451674224","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
