{"product_id":"stories-savory-and-sweet","title":"Stories Savory and Sweet","description":"\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSome of the stories in this charming collection will make you smile and even laugh out loud; others will touch on sweet memories. You'll meet characters like Cousin Soupmeat and Crazy Ruthie, and enjoy an encounter with a movie star in Rome. The whimsical themes include eating chocolate after dark and visiting a fortune-teller, a family's history as viewed by the dining room table, crab apples, a culinary visit to Paris, and the foibles of owning and maintaining a family cabin. Each story is unique, as are the recipes included with a few of them, but in various ways they all exhibit the author's humor, wit, and insight into subtleties of human character and the value of social connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMargie Zats\u003c\/strong\u003e is a Minneapolis-based author and chef.
