Perfect for you if...

You're drawn to books that blend spiritual reflection with everyday life, and you want recipes that come with real stories behind them.
You love the idea of cooking for people as an act of love, and you're looking for permission to slow down and make meals matter.
You appreciate honest, vulnerable writing about faith that doesn't feel preachy or formulaic.

Maybe not for you if...

You're after a straightforward cookbook with minimal narrative. The essays are as important as the food here.
You're not interested in spiritual or religious themes woven into your food writing.
You prefer memoirs that are tightly plotted or focused on a single narrative arc rather than interconnected vignettes.

About this book

Bread and Wine is a collection of essays and recipes exploring the moments and meals that bring people together. Shauna Niequist combines storytelling with recipes, examining what happens when family and friends gather around the table. Through personal narratives, she reflects on how sharing food mirrors the way we share our hearts with each other and with God, and considers how hunger, loneliness, and restlessness draw us back to the table. The book blends cookbook and spiritual memoir, exploring themes of nourishment, connection, and divine presence in the act of breaking bread. Niequist invites readers to recognize the sacred in everyday moments of gathering and eating together. Recipes included feature dishes such as Goat Cheese Biscuits, Bacon-Wrapped Dates, Mango Chicken Curry, and Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Toffee, allowing readers to recreate the meals featured in each essay.
