Home Made: A Story of Grief, Groceries, Showing Up--And What We Make When We Make Dinner | 
bailedEh…. This was recommended to me by a friend, and now I have to figure out how to tell her I couldn‘t finish it. This is about a woman who volunteers to teach teen boys in a group home how to cook, in her father‘s memory. But there‘s a line in the prologue from her mom that says “Atheists don‘t do this kind of work.” Which I absolutely do not agree with. So I tried to keep reading, but everything is now clouded with a “holier than thou” feel. ⬇️
pickI love food memoirs so much, so I was so happy to get this book in my hands. This is not your typical food memoir, in fact there was not a lot of cooking from scratch at all in this book. Instead we got a beautiful story of a young woman, who is mourning her father‘s death, who gives herself to the organization her father spent his life‘s work in, and bonds with troubled teenagers.
