Local author Laura Zinn Fromm will be at the Morristown and Morris Township Library on Wednesday, June 10 at 7 PM to discuss her new book, Sweet Survival: Tales of Cooking & Coping, published by Greenpoint Press. Sweet Survival is a collection of essays that is two parts memoir, one part cookbook.
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. Fromm will be on hand to share her warm and generous essays as well as her recipes and cooking advice.
Fromm provides a little bit of everything with Sweet Survival: 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 readers to bolt for their sauté pans.
Refreshments will be served. 
This program is supported through funding from the Friends of the Morristown & Morris Township Library.
