Synopsis

A noted entrepreneur, food writer, and recipe developer serves up an evocative adventure story abouther quest to find healing, meaning, and a place at the table.
 
Hunger comes to us in many forms, writes Lia Huber—we long to be satisfied not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually as well. Nourished invites readers on Huber’s world-roaming search to find the necessary ingredients to nurture all three.
     She begins her quest with an Anthony Bourdain moment in a Guatemalan village: she's slipping fresh vegetables into a communal pot of soup she's cooking up for chronically undernourished children. Village grannies look on disapprovingly... until the kids come back for more.
     From there, Huber takes listeners to the Greek island of Corfu, where she learns the joys of simple food and the power of unconditional love; to a Costa Rican jungle house (by way of an 8,000-mile road trip), where she finds hope and healing; and finally to California's wine country, where she steps into the person she was meant to be and discovers her calling to nourish others.

Goodreads review by Catie on August 13, 2017

This book is a fascinating (and mouth-watering) read, and I enjoyed it for MANY reasons. I was drawn in by Lia writing that there are a number of ways to be 'hungry.' This book is not even trying to be another cookbook to make life easier or food prep quicker. Nourished is a personal story of all th......more

Goodreads review by Stacia on October 13, 2017

I won an advanced copy of this book in a giveaway, and it was so very good! The story of Lia's life is exciting to anyone who loves to travel and learn about other cultures.
