Summary
Josephine Caminos Oría has a love/hate relationship with her book, Sobremesa, even admitting to Zibby that she at one time ripped out 380 pages and tried to start from scratch countless times. But eventually, the pieces fell into place and Josephine was able to tell the story of her family, their recipes and traditions, and the protector who has been watching over her since she was 16. Josephine and Zibby discuss some of the memoir's most unbelievable stories, as well as how Covid impacted her family's foodservice business. Read Josephine's essay about her journey to publication on Moms Don't Have Time to Write.
