Summary

Zibby speaks to podcast host Sutanya Dacres about Dinner for One: How Cooking in Paris Saved Me, a mouth-watering and heart-warming memoir about a shattered American-in-Paris fairytale and the cathartic power of making delicious food. Sutanya shares the details of her whirlwind romance with the Frenchman she married (and divorced), her life as a Black American in Paris, and the innovative, listen-to-me-cook podcast she created to help rebuild her life. She also talks about her Jamaican heritage, her brilliant ten rules to live by, and the books on her TBR list.
