Reading in bed. Only able to catch snatches of time to read so it's been slower going but am enjoying it. #readinginbed #coffeeandbooks

This book had such a different premise for me. Queenie gets fired fromNYC chef job; returns to TX, works making last meals for death row inmates, TX food, small town culture, Football, looking for "home", family, humor, drama. Wonderfully refreshing.
#greatdedication for #riotgrams (also one of my favorite reads) 💖🌹

I believe it's obvious based on my feed that I'm a foodie. So it goes without saying that I enjoy well-written #foodiefiction. Here are three that I've loved and would highly recommend. Make sure you have snacks on hand while you read them! 📚☕🍰

A book that makes me smile:
Queenie Wake is back at home in North Star TX after losing her job. A chef by trade, she now works as a chef in a local prison, making last meals for inmates. Her family's spotty reputation is large + everywhere. She just wants to feel at home.
This book is GREAT. There is football, food + the South. I suggest this one most often when IRL people ask for recs!

Great read. I've always thought Liza Palmer was underrated. Her writing is spot on for me. This book is about so many things: careers, family, local drama, social status, Death Row, cooking, finding yourself, claiming what's yours and last but not least, Texas (smokers, brisket, swamp coolers and football) Give it a read! 5 ⭐️
I'm probably biased, but this story of a Texas girl finding herself hit all the right notes. The combination of home cooking, family, small town drama, and self actualization were interwoven with moments of harsh reality and hopefulness. B+
