A Recipe for Pleasure: Journey into Love, Freedom, and Nourishment - Hardcover

by Solunis Nicole Bay (Author)

In A Recipe for Pleasure, author Solunis Nicole Bay takes you on a journey back to the late '90s /early 2000s to share her struggles to be an integrated, aware, and passionate person in a world that seeks to define black women like her as complicated, risky, and, ultimately, in need of control. She discusses the impact of family and social pressures to "do right," "be good," and "succeed." Recipe by recipe, step by step, she shares her path to becoming free, whole, authentically loved, and fully expressed in pleasure. Bay tells how she was unaware of her worth but had an inkling of how to discover it through taste. A blend of a woman's raw truth and culinary treats, A Recipe for Pleasure explores Bay's relationships, the relationship with self & future self, and the ingredients expressed in her entanglements. Her stories remind you of home, passion, lost flavors, and lustful desire-one relationship and recipe at a time.
