I’m drawn to books that need to be read and shared, the new voices, the hidden gems and the stories that might otherwise slip under the radar. On Bites & Books, I celebrate authors who deserve an audience, pairing their words with recipes, reflections and recommendations. It’s a place to discover, savor, and pass along the stories that linger long after the page is closed.

About Bite & Books

I love to cook while listening to audiobooks.
And I love to eat while reading a good book.

Those two things belong together for me.

The story starts in my ears while my hands are busy with the chopping, stirring, waiting. The kitchen fills with voices and heat and time passing. An audiobook keeps me company while the meal comes together, moving with me from counter to stove.

Then I sit down.

That’s when I open a book.

Eating is when I want the page. The quiet weight of it. The way time slows when the food is ready and the work is done. I read between bites. I linger. I let the words and the meal meet exactly where they should.

Here you’ll find:

• Recipes meant to be cooked with a story playing in the background

• Reviews of books by new and emerging authors

• Returns to the oldies—stories worth rereading, revisiting, remembering

• Thoughtful recommendations for what to listen to, what to read, and when

This isn’t about chasing trends or reading lists.
It’s about curiosity and honoring new voices while going back in time to the books that shaped us.

Pull a book from the shelf. Press play on a story. Put something on the stove.
Feed yourself well—in every way.
