I
received a copy of BREAD & WINE: A LOVE LETTER TO LIFE AROUND THE TABLE
WITH RECIPES by Shauna Niequist from Zondervan.
When they say “with recipes” that’s exactly what they mean. Each chapter is an essay focusing on an
aspect of food, with a correlating recipe included at the end. The book makes a great bedtime read – you can
absorb one essay and daydream about the recipe to be made the following
day. It is a great way to ponder the
information while your mouth salivates. Shauna’s
writing is catchy and familiar. It feels
as if she is sitting in the room with you sharing a glass of wine.
Her
stories about food reminded me of the times my friend and I travel to different
ethnic restaurants. The essays have that
gentle, friendly quality. Next time she’s
in town, I’ll share BREAD & WINE with her.
We might even have our own bread and wine party. My mouth is watering just thinking about the
descriptions of food included within the pages.
My
mother was excited to read it after me.
As a lover of food, she’s always eager for fresh recipes. Without much time on her hands, the essays
were the perfect length. I highly
recommend this to my “hungry” friends.
