What's Cooking?

Featuring Derin Tanyol, Kimberly Lee, Nancy Goodhue, Barbara Josselsohn. Eating may be the most truly universal activity, and there's a whole lot of preparation behind it, whether we're feeding ourselves, our families, or guests in our restaurant. The submission prompt we published for the 650-word stories you're about to hear was "What's Cooking?" and we invited writers to share their stories of culinary trials and triumphs.
