📝 Description: Spoonful of Promises: Stories & Recipes from a Well-Tempered Table

In this collection of mouthwatering stories with intimacy--between family and friends, parents and children--as its common thread, food is a metaphor, a sixth sense that binds to the drama of life and to moments that might otherwise be forgotten. Chang's food stories explore facets of the human condition, whether nostalgia, romance, loyalty, love, guilt, envy, or hope, each in its most delicious form.
