Marjory Sweet Interview and Book Launch Event

The Post Supply got the chance to connect with farmer and chef Marjory Sweet about her newest book "__ Is A Breakfast Food".

The book is a conversation about what to eat in the morning. Breakfast as a mood, a memory, a moment, a mundane routine, a meaningful ritual. Intended for anyone who needs a new way with eggs; or who has woken up and wondered what to eat, or who has just woken up and wondered. It is published by Anyonegirl with photos by Halley Strongwater

"I consider the new book an extension of Farm Lunch. (or a prelude? Since breakfast typically precedes lunch...) and both projects share an origin point: my experience farming and the personal rituals and little beliefs I developed around cooking and eating while growing my own food."

"I've been thinking a lot about how poems and recipes have so much in common. Both generally rely on some kind of internal, technical structure, but they are as much about tone, mood, inspiration, and interpretation as they are about technique. The best poems haunt you and follow you and sink in, and your understanding of them -- sometimes even your memory of them -- evolves over time. The best recipes should function similarly, I think. I'm more interested in recipes that just make you want to get up and cook."
