After the sudden and unexpected death of her husband, Alexandra found herself lost and alone. She had always been a strong and independent woman, but grief threatened to consume her. In the depths of her despair, she turned to the one thing that had always brought her comfort: food.

Alexandra began to cook and eat her way through her grief. She found solace in the familiar flavors of her childhood, and comfort in the simple act of preparing meals for her family. As she cooked and ate, she began to heal. The food she shared with her family became a symbol of love, loss, and the enduring power of human connection.

In Love, Loss, and What We Ate, Alexandra weaves together her personal story with recipes for the dishes that helped her through her grief. She shares her recipes for comfort food, such as her mother's macaroni and cheese, and her husband's favorite chocolate chip cookies. She also includes recipes for more challenging dishes, such as her father's bouillabaisse, which she learned to make after his death.

Through her writing and her recipes, Alexandra invites readers to join her on her journey through grief and loss. She shows us that even in the darkest of times, there is hope and healing to be found. Love, Loss, and What We Ate is a powerful and moving memoir that will resonate with anyone who has ever experienced the pain of loss.
