This book is well worth reading. Suzan gets laid off, from her magazine writing job, during the recession and bank bail outs of 2009.

We get to meet her mother, her grandmother. her grandfather and her great grandmother and great grandfather. They too had to eat, and live and pay bills during some tough times. Her Husband Nathan is a wonderful human being. She did find the one straight good guy in all of New York.

Susan give us recipes, and then updated recipes. Stories from the past and stories from her life. You see great parallels in her stories. Wonderful stories, not sad tragic stories, but about over coming, making due, being yourself, and finding joy in life. Keep reading and you will find out why you might want to eat Cherries in the winter.
