Cherries in Winter: My Family’s Recipe for Hope in Hard Times

(Anchor)

“Perfectly in sync with today’s tough times.” —People Magazine

When Suzan Colón was laid off from her dream job, she needed to cut her budget way back. Home cooking was one solution, and her mother suggested looking in Nana’s old recipe folder, full of inexpensive, “sturdy” meals from other challenging times. In making these recipes with her mother, and hearing stories from her family’s past, Suzan realized she had more than just a collection of recipes; she’d found the key to her family’s survival through hard times.

Cherries in Winter makes you want to cook, it makes you want to know your own family’s stories, and, above all, it makes you feel rich no matter what. Available in hardcover, paperback (with bonus chapters and recipes), and audiobook.

“Perfectly in sync with today’s tough times . . . Cherries in Winter illustrates the difference between broke and poor, using recipes—simple, sturdy, inexpensive—as well as family wisdom to show that when poverty looms, your best weapon may be a well-nourished soul.”—People Magazine
