Every Dish Has a Story

What is that one dish that brings you back to your childhood? This is the starting question Jill Hecker asks every person featured in Every Dish Has a Story: When I Was a Kid... Treasured Childhood Food Memories and Their Recipes. Hecker has a unique way of showcasing just how powerful we remember past events through childhood food memories. Each chapter is dedicated to a specific individual and the history of a special dish that still brings the utmost joy into their lives. Hecker concludes each chapter with the exceptional recipe that is so dear to the heart.
