What a Year!: Collierisms, Cocktails, & Cooking
by J Monique Collier
During 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic, forced so many to learn new things during quarantine. Many went through a number of emotions, trials, tribulations. Seeking to do more for her friends, family and local community, Josie began posting ideas to cope with staying indoors on social media (#IncredibleIndoorIdeas). Many of those ideas led to the creation of this book.
Each month of 2020 and part of the 2021, Josie not only figured out ways to stay safe and sane indoors but she made new culinary discoveries, remembered some old favorites and used the lessons of resilience to cope with the new normal. Part recipes, part cocktails, and part call to action, this book takes you on a sensory journey during a time that humbled, hurt, and surprised so many.
