An exquisite memoir about how food connects us to ourselves,
our lives, and each other.
At 28, Jessica Fechtor was happily immersed in graduate
school and her young marriage, and thinking about starting a
family. Then one day, she went for a run and an aneurysm
burst in her brain. She nearly died. She lost her sense of
smell, the sight in her left eye, and was forced to the
sidelines of the life she loved. Jessica’s journey to recovery began in the kitchen as soon
as she was able to stand at the stovetop and stir. There,
she drew strength from the restorative power of cooking and
baking. Written with intelligence, humor, and warmth, Stir
is a heartfelt examination of what it means to nourish and
be nourished. Woven throughout the narrative are 27 recipes for dishes
that comfort and delight. For readers of M.F.K.Fisher, Molly
Wizenberg, and Tamar Adler, as well as Oliver Sacks, Jill
Bolte Taylor, and Susannah Cahalan, Stir is sure to inspire,
and send you straight to the kitchen.
