(Book)

Includes recipes, conversation with author and discussion guide.

"In 1960s America, Joan Bergstrom and Imogen Fortier understand the key to a savored life--delicious food. Young Joan is just discovering herself as a food writer in bustling Los Angeles, while experienced columnist Imogen is settled in her decades-long marriage on Camano Island outside Seattle. When Joan sends a fan letter to Imogen with a gift of saffron and a recipe, their journey of culinary exploration and soul-deep friendship begins. Along the way a forgotten flavor surfaces buried memories and enlivens a marriage, and a quest to make carne asada opens the possibility of true love. Within this beautiful, intimate world, new passions are revealed, and the women's friendship meets the ultimate test." -- page[4] of cover
