The Table That Held Us
A Memoir in Meals From Father to Son
Every meal holds a memory. Every table tells a story. This memoir weaves together food, travel, and fatherhood to explore love, resilience, and the lessons we pass on through the meals we share.
A father’s story to his son, told through meals. Part cookbook, part memoir, The Table That Held Us is about connection, loss, joy, and the flavors that carry us through.
