Cooking Up a Good Life: Recipes for Body and Soul

Cooking Up a Good Life: Recipes for Body and Soul uses stories about food and cooking to offer the reader "recipes" for living a full, satisfying life. Simple lessons learned when preparing food can easily be adapted to real life, especially when that real life is challenging.

Warm, cartoon-like illustrations and actual recipes make this the perfect little book to give as a gift for family and friends who appreciate the basics of living a good life.

A side story shares how this book serves as a memoir of the author and her family for the author's daughter, who was given up for adoption 20 years ago.
