More local color than a steamed lobster wearing wild blueberry bracelets, along with a mess of wistful nostalgia for any reader raised in Maine or New England. --Portland Press Herald Nearly 70 renowned New England writers gather round the table to talk food and how it sustains us--mind, body, and soul An award-winning collection of essays by internationally recognized and beloved foodies, Breaking Bread celebrates local foods, family, and community, while exploring how what's on our plates engages with what's off: grief, pleasure, love, ethics, race, and class. Here, you'll find reflections from top literary talents and food writers like
- Award-winning novelist Lily King on connecting with her children over a tweaked chocolate chip cookie recipe
- Pulitzer Prize recipient Richard Russo on the Italian soup his mother snubbed that he came to enjoy
- Coauthor of Mad Honey Jennifer Finney Boylan on how cheese pizza holds her family together through the good and the bad
- Coauthor of About Grief Brian Shuff on how greasy takeout can be life-giving food for the grieving soul
- Award-winning writer Ron Currie on the childhood shame--and adult pride--of your mother being a lunch lady
- Author and homesteader Margaret Hathaway on building a community cookbook to bring food and family together in the early days of COVID-19
Proceeds from this collection will benefit Blue Angel, a Maine-based nonprofit founded by writer and Breaking Bread coeditor Deborah Joy Corey to combat hunger. The organization purchases food from local farmers and delivers it directly to families in need.
