I was pleased to join author Noley Reid for a reading and conversation about her novel Pretend We Are Lovely. The novel is based on a family of four characters, each having a complicated relationship to food.
The book contains numerous references to restaurants, grocery stores, home cooking, and baked goods. Carrot cupcakes figure prominently in one powerful moment of desperation. In the spirit of redemption and rethinking negative associations, I opted to make carrot cupcakes for the event.
Setting the stage.
Baking the goods to feed mind and body.
Ready for reader-eaters.
Action!
