I am hot on two cookbooks right now. My friend, Marilyn (sandwich lady), turned me onto to NY Times cooking phenom Lidey Heuck and my friend, Brooks, turned me onto Caro Chambers. Caro Chambers is a North Carolina native to boot… Check out their instagram sites @lideylikes and @carochambers to get some fun and innovative recipe ideas!

I read an extra book this month because of my travels. I love to read books set in places where I am traveling. I read The Invisible Bridge which was set mainly in Budapest, Prague and Paris prior to and during WWII. The novel is very good, but as you can imagine, the story is terribly sad, disturbing, and at times, horrifying. You will love many of the characters and ache for them as they struggle to survive and keep any hope alive. It is truly heartbreaking. I read this one on my kindle, and I didn’t quite realize how long it was – 642 pages – so it took me quite a while to read. It is very good (not my favorite of this genre and subject), but be forewarned, it is very upsetting at times – “man’s inhumanity to man”. At Dachau there is a memorial statue of steel – a tangle of bodies in barbed wire – whose base reads “Forgive, but never forget”. And that is why we read these books.
