The Soul of Food and Wine - A Southern Woman’s Journey from Momma’s Kitchen to the World

Come on in, pour yourself a glass, and let's talk about The Soul of Food and Wine!

The Soul of Food and Wine isn't just a cookbook, and it isn't just a memoir, it's the story of how I found my way from my Momma Nancy's kitchen in Alabama to tables all over the world, one recipe and one glass of wine at a time. This is the same book that previously hit #1 New Release in Wine Pairing on Amazon, now available straight from me, no middleman, and a little something extra for the folks who've supported this journey from the start.

Inside, you'll find the recipes that raised me, the sweet potato pie that still tastes like my mother's hands, the Sunday dishes that turned into Tuesday traditions, each one paired with a wine that makes the moment last a little longer. You'll travel with me from a Finger Lakes wine trip with Ken to the kitchens and communities that shaped how I cook, pour, and tell a story.

This isn't a book you read once and shelve. It's one you cook from, sip alongside, and hand to the person in your life who needs to be reminded that the table is where healing happens.

When you buy it here instead of Amazon, you're buying directly from me which means more of your support goes straight back into the next book, the next event, the next chapter of this brand you've watched grow.

Pour a glass. Turn the page. Let's eat!
