Laura Zinn Fromm - Sweet Survival: Tales of Cooking and Coping

Sweet Survival: Tales of Cooking & Coping is a collection of essays that is two parts memoir, one part cookbook from Laura Zinn Fromm. A former award-winning journalist and self-described sugar addict, Fromm is both funny and frank in this moving account of trying to find comfort in a family fraught with mental illness. These essays are warm and generous, as are her recipes and cooking advice. You’ll find everything in here, from baking for a Nobel Prize winner to courting a kidnapper; mastering a mousse soufflé to roasting a chicken in milk. Fromm writes about her life with a tenderness and tenacity, and about food with a devotion and sensuality that will inspire even the most kitchen-phobic among us to bolt for our sauté pans.

Laura Zinn Fromm holds an MFA in fiction writing from Columbia University. She teaches fiction and creative non-fiction through New York Writers Workshop and has taught at Columbia and Montclair State University. A former editor at Business Week, she is a winner of the Clarion Award and the Newspaper Guild’s Page One Award for Labor Reporting. Her work has been published in the New York Times, Business Week, Huffington Post, Ducts.org, Writing Raw and Wellesley Magazine.
