Linda Barrasse
For this first-time author, who was raised in an Italian American home, food was always a focal point. As Linda raised her own children, food yet again played an important part in day-to-day life. ...vizualizați mai multeFor this first-time author, who was raised in an Italian American home, food was always a focal point. As Linda raised her own children, food yet again played an important part in day-to-day life. Dinner was the time that her family connected. It was not just about the “eating.” It was about the preparation, the smells, the discussions, and most importantly, the love.
Linda, along with “her friends”, have been cooking for one hundred dinners. These, however, are no ordinary dinners. They are dinners to soothe the souls after losing her son, Cody, in April of 2013. Her “friends” are just as integral to this book as she is.
Her hope is that along with experiencing fun and excellent recipes, that her readers will understand how tragedy will never trump love. So much so, that in this case, food was the catalyst for the development of a magnificent chemical reaction that resulted in the Cody Barrasse Memorial Foundation.
This group has decided to make something beautiful out of something tragic. Hopefully, their lives are filled with more meaning. Hopefully, the sting of their loss hurts a bit less. And hopefully, their bellies and souls have been filled with comforting food and love.
