Through the lens of food, Walsh recounts her life's journey-from unhappy adolescent to straight-identified wife and mother to divorcée in a same-sex relationship--and she throws in some dishy revelations, a-ha moments, take-home tidbits, and mouth-watering recipes for good measure. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA surprising and rambunctiously liberating tale of cooking and eating, loving and being loved, \u003ci\u003eLicking the Spoon\u003c\/i\u003e is the story of how--accompanied by pivotal recipes, cookbooks, culinary movements, and guides--one woman learned that you can not only recover but blossom after a comically horrible childhood if you just have the right recipes, a little luck, and an appetite for life's next meal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Seal Press (CA)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/13\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781580053914\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.50w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e New Mexico-Arizona Book Awards - Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/15\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/22\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2014 pg. 48\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Candace Walsh","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42769611194549,"sku":"9781580053914","price":18.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_3427d862-f1f8-4e8b-a57c-6a1784fa6cfe.jpg?v=1678833145","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/licking-the-spoon-9781580053914","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
