Tales from My Table is a collection of twelve true stories about food. Bittersweet, funny, and thought-provoking, the stories explore the way food influences our lives and our memories. We learn about relationships, about life, and about the thrill of eating what you love to eat and cooking what you love to cook. Imagine Anne Lamott and Garrison Keillor meeting under a full moon for a midnight picnic. As author Ann Tudor says: "I value food prepared and served with love. And I value the memories that we store in our taste buds. Not all those memories are welcome ones. It would not serve us to recall only the times of sweet plenty and glorious love. We need also to taste bitterness and to feel our salt tears. We taste the salt, we taste the bitter. And then we find the sweet."
Ann Tudor is a Toronto-based writer of creative non-fiction whose current work includes memoirs and personal essay collections. She has a degree in English from DePauw University and an M.A.T. degree from Vanderbilt University. Her best-selling audiobooks include "Tales from My Table," "Rosie & the Angels," and "I Love Pie." Available commercially for the first time now are "We Called Her Eileen," and "A Child's Midwestern Christmas." At various times of her fascinating life she has been a church organist, craftsperson, wife-mother-grandmother, cook, student of the cello, hands-on healer, and editor for a library science publisher. From each of her vocations and avocations she has coaxed a little additional information on how to make it through the journey of life.
