“Food is comforting. Food is energy. Food can be healing. Those are important things right now more than ever,” she said.
Los Angeles resident Erik Dahlgren has had to work from home during the pandemic. But armed with a 25-pound bag of flour, he’s been experimenting with bread-making. He recently put a photo of freshly baked sourdough to his Instagram account.
“I need something to keep me busy, and baking always gives me a sense of accomplishment and pride,” he said. “Those are the kinds of things I need to get me through these lonely times we are all experiencing.”
Brenda McNicol had to cancel her 60th birthday party because of social-distancing measures in Edmonton, Alberta. But she still baked a cake for a virtual cocktail party, which she hosted on a video-conferencing app.
“I think food can serve as a vessel to bring people together, even when we can’t actually be around each other,” said Steve Roybal of Santa Rosa, California.

SUNDAY SAUCEÂ – “When Italian-Americans Cook”
Â
A lot of people are really taking to cooking (1st time or whatever) since this horrible Pandemic started. Everyone has to eat, so why not cook fresh, tasty food, on your own, that you don’t have to worry about who touched it or what not, “Keep Safe.”
Anyway, everyone #Loves #ItalianFood and many people #LOVE my book SUNDAY SAUCE that is not only filled with Recipes for the best and most beloved Italian Dishes, I have written delightful little stories (true – non fiction) to go along with the recipes. I’ve been a Chef for more that 30 years, and I have written recipes that are easy to follow and execute. Many people have just gotten into cooking for the first time as a result of the current situation in America and all around the World. And others who had already known how to cook, are looking for new recipes and want to improve their culinary skills and increase the size of their repertoire. As a result, cookbook sales are booming. As for myself, my sales have increased over the same time period last year, but enough about all that.
All you need to know is that Sunday Sauce, and some of my other books like GOT ANY KAHLUA? aka The Big Lebowski  Cookbook are quite delightful, if I must say so myself; Great RECIPES and wonderful little antidotes and stories of the food and people within.

Thank You All,
Have a Wonderful Day, and Be Safe,
