A noted entrepreneur, food writer, and recipe developer serves up an
evocative adventure story abouther quest to find healing, meaning, and a
place at the table.
Hunger comes to us in many forms, writes Lia Huber--we long to be
satisfied not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually as well.
Nourished invites readers on Huber's world-roaming search to find the
necessary ingredients to nurture all three.
She begins her quest with an Anthony Bourdain moment in a Guatemalan
village: she's slipping fresh vegetables into a communal pot of soup
she's cooking up for chronically undernourished children. Village
grannies look on disapprovingly... until the kids come back for more.
From there, Huber takes readers to the Greek island of Corfu, where she
learns the joys of simple food and the power of unconditional love; to a
Costa Rican jungle house (by way of an 8,000-mile road trip), where she
finds hope and healing; and finally to California's wine country, where
she steps into the person she was meant to be and discovers her calling
to nourish others.
