Episode 3 – Creativity, Comfort, and the Joy of Books: Featuring Hardbacks and Helpings
Episode Description – In this cozy and creative episode, we’re joined by Heather — the imaginative force behind Hardbacks & Helpings, where books and food come together in the most delightful ways. We talk about falling back in love with reading, the power of comfort stories (hello, romantasy!), and how food can deepen the emotional resonance of a good book. Heather shares how her engineering background inspired her creative outlet, her favorite reads of the year, and how she turns fictional meals into real-world recipes. If you’re craving inspiration, book talk, or a reminder that joy matters — this one’s for you.
