FEAST ON YOUR LIFE Kitchen Meditations for Every Day

Cookbook author and Vogue contributor Adler narrates with controlled emotion in a lovely voice, with just the right tone and tempo. These meditations on life and food, spanning a calendar year, began as a project to write her way out of depression. Adler's style is intimate yet informed. She includes quotes from poets (Louise Glück, May Swenson, and Mary Oliver among them) and snippets of experience, traveling to Italy and Spain as well as her neighborhood grocery store. Apples, eggs, and artichokes merit attention, as do funeral sandwiches, banana bread, and her favorite potato chips. These memories, appreciations, and preparations leave the listener calm. Adler's audiobook possesses charm, food savvy, and lots of culinary ideas. [Published: JANUARY 2025]
