Liz Hauck and her dad had a plan to start a weekly cooking program in a residential home for teenaged boys in state care, which was run by the human services agency he co-directed. When her father died unexpectedly after a brief illness, Liz decided to attempt the cooking project without him. This is the story of what happened around the table over a period of weeks that became years.
What The Reviewers Say
... [a] beautiful, absorbing new memoir.
... moving.
Her writing captures the personalities and voices of the young men so clearly as they request recipes, tease her for acting like a teacher, and live in the space between childhood and the adult world.
A moving memoir.
