About this episode
"Find who inspired the person who inspired you." - Andrea We got together to share our book stacks for 2022 with each other and both our lists got longer in the process! Alison dived in depth with a few titles and Andrea brought a longer list with shorter descriptions. New published books as well as old vintage materials sit side by side in our to-be-read stacks, audiobooks and e-books as well, and we both stole titles from each other as we usually do. We hope you will share your book stack with us and tag us or use the hashtag #ancestralkitchenbookstack so we can see it and share! Love what we're doing?

It wasn't reading Bernoulli's principle - it was getting on a plane and flying from Seattle to Moscow. - Andrea Time Stamps Note: Further resources that we discussed in addition to our book stacks, as well as links to the books themselves, can be found in the Resources section below Skip the intro and go straight to meals! 00:42 Thank you Patrons! 10:11 Introducing a sneak peak to ....
