Our Book this month was “Love & Saffron”. Kim Fay is the author. This witty novel takes place in the 1960’s and two women discover that food does connect us all and love and laughter is indeed the best medicine. Its story is told in letters that the two women write to each other….. before we had texting, face-time and such. In the many years of their friendship, they only met once but had a lasting effect on each other. There was laughter and tears and it was a rather quick read. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to find faith in humanity again.
We had Shrimp Ceviche, Two bean salad, Tamale Casserole and Enchilada Casserole, Chips and Salsa and Dulce de Coco for dessert.
It was a Spanish theme menu and it was delightful. You can find some of the recipes in the back of the book.
Bon Appetit and Happy Reading.
