Good Lord, who doesn't enjoy a gooey yummy delicious treat? That is what I think about when I think about books. I love food and tend to use a lot of those references when describing what I'm reading or writing. I grew up in a kitchen reading while my Gran showed me how to cook. I learned to associate food with good and bad memories. We celebrated in the kitchen and we came together to cope with pain and loss in the kitchen. I learned to throw my feelings and passions into creating food, each dish showcasing what I was feeling. I owe all that to my Gran who took something as simple as basic as food and showed me a form of art that got my creative skills working. I don't think I would be the writer I am today without learning from her how to express things in food. So hats off to my Grandmother who is 101 years old and still living well.
