This book also reminds me to slow down, be present, and fill each day with intention. --Ashley Rodriguez, author of Date Night In and Let's Stay In Aran's book is a journey of food, nourishment, and family. It is generous and robust in both story and recipes. The food is foundational and celebratory--it makes us want to cook, eat, and live authentically with the ones we love. --Karen Mordechai, creator of Sunday Suppers and author of Simple Fare A collection of the intuitive, wholesome recipes synonymous with Aran's philosophy, which is informed by time, place, and tradition.
