T. Susan Chang's ’87’s new book A Spoonful of Promises: Stories & Recipes from a Well-Tempered Table (Nov. 2011) is a collection of stories --between family and friends, parents and children. Chang's food stories explore facets of the human condition, whether nostalgia, romance, loyalty, love, guilt, envy, or hope, each in its most delicious form.
The book—comprising thirty-three essays and recipes—begins with food scenes from Chang’s childhood, memories that forever tie her to the mother she lost to cancer early in her life, and to the family that helped shape who she is today. This is followed by practical recipes for the weeknight parent and lessons Chang learned along her own parenting journey. Finally, Chang dips into more adventurous cooking for special occasions: once-in-a-lifetime recipes and experiences meant to be shared with family, friends, or even strangers--who, as the saying goes, are only friends who have not met before. The book has received great reviews, high praise, and Susan even earned a segment on the CT channel 3 morning news program to discuss her book.
T. Susan Chang is a freelance food writer who regularly reviews cookbooks for the Boston Globe and NPR. She is a regular contributor to NPR's Kitchen Window column, and the cookbook reviewer for Eat Your Books, the cookbook-indexing website, where she also has a weekly blog called Shelf Life With Susie.
