SYNOPSIS:
Every dish has a story. Some stories taste like home.
Step inside the church fellowship hall, family kitchen, choir rehearsal, reunion, wedding, college campus, and Sunday service in Tales with Taste: My Church Folks.
Iris D. Davis brings together a warm collection of short stories inspired by church life, family, faith, laughter, community, and the unforgettable people who make ordinary moments worth remembering.
And every story comes with something extra: a recipe connected to the memory.
From Orange Butter Cake and Southern Tea Cookies to Shrimp Deviled Eggs, Strawberry Sugar Cookies, Peach Pie, Turkey Meatballs with Turkey Gravy, and Cheesy Cornbread Muffins, the food becomes part of the storytelling.
Inside you’ll find:
Heartwarming stories inspired by church and community life
Funny, surprising, and deeply human moments
Memories of family, fellowship, worship, celebrations, and tradition
Familiar comfort-food recipes connected to each story
Stories that celebrate faith, kindness, resilience, laughter, and love
Some stories will make you smile. Some may bring back memories of your own church family. Others may remind you of someone you have not thought about in years.
Tales with Taste: My Church Folks is for readers who know that food is rarely just food. It is Sunday dinner. It is the fellowship hall. It is somebody’s famous recipe. It is family history. It is comfort. It is connection.
Pull up a chair. Stay for the story. And save room for something good.
