Everything I Never Told You

By Celeste Ng

This book broke my heart a bit for this fractured family. Disconnect, loss, and redemption in this beautiful portrayal of what unfolds in the absence of communication among loved ones. It's a sad but so lovely read.

Lots of food themes in this book, mainly as a symbol of domestic duty, rarely for joy or comfort. Hard boiled eggs are featured often, so here are my simple deviled eggs. My mom's secret ingredient is a little curry with the yolks. No cookbook needed.
