We Celebrate Food for the Soul

About the Book

WE CELEBRATE FOOD FOR THE SOUL is an eclectic collection of stories with the central theme of food – plain, fancy, sweet, sour, occasionally inedible and sometimes downright poisonous. Some stories transport you to exotic or fanciful places. Some never leave the kitchen. Each author interprets the word food in his or her own way. Each is touched by the gentle encouragement and keen guidance of Mary Ellen Gavin, our founder, teacher and friend. So, welcome, Reader! You are our guest. Take your place at the head of the table and enjoy the feast. Some of this is pretty tasty stuff.

About the Author

THE WRITERS OF CHANTILLY are a variety of people who have little in common except a desire to write and who value one another’s friendship and insight. Some are new and some have been together for years. Some have a story that nobody else could tell. They gather together twice a month to exchange their fiction, nonfiction, essays, and poetry. They return to their mysterious, chaotic, or humdrum world feeling enriched, encouraged, and anxious to write more stories.
