As a child, Turshen skipped the Easy-Bake Oven and went straight to the real thing. Her approach to food is about so much more than putting dinner on the table: it is about love, community connection, and nourishment of the body and soul. Here she takes on the simple, cozy meals she cooks most often at home and in her volunteer work. She provides options for the kind of flavorful yet unfussy food we all want to make at home. -- adapted from inside front cover
