Carrie’s Table: My Life Through Food

By Carrie Jones Faina

This book is full of my introductions to food, each followed by three recipes. The first recipe is from my childhood, straight from the story. Then there is an adapted version of the recipe to fit my needs as a teenager when I had to change my diet due to health complications. The last recipe shown fits the dietary preferences of my current self; these recipes are vegan. This book can be used in many different ways and has no specific order. I hope reading this allows you to pause and think of moments in your life that have influenced your relationship with food.

Cooking is all about people. Food is maybe the only universal thing that really has the power to bring every- one together. No matter what culture, everywhere around the world, people get together to eat.

I always wanted to be a chef. Flavors and food were always of interest to me, but it was how those things brought friends and family together to celebrate not only the special occasions but every-day life. It has been a blessing that I have been able to pursue a career that creates a product that brings people together.
