About Nourished: A Memoir Of Food, Faith & Enduring Love
Product Description A noted entrepreneur, food writer, and recipe developer serves up an evocative adventure story about her 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 readers 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. Review The New York Times calls Nourished, “[A] charming foodie travel memoir…[Huber] is endearing, engaging company and the reader roots for her success.” A Buzzfeed Best Book of 2017--“Lia Huber's Nourished is…deeply heartfelt, exploring her journey toward using food to nourish physically, emotionally, and spiritually.” "An inspiring tale of faith, love and courage.

PrologueJuly 2012They’re not going to like the vegetables,” the old woman in the corner of the hut mumbled through wrinkled lips and missing teeth. She was speaking in Kaqchikel, the language native to this region of Guatemala, but I understood her nonetheless. I was used to the skeptical, almost goading tenor of that sentence.The other women, of varying ages, nodded in agreement.
