Listen & Cook: Laurie Colwin’s tomato pie featured in Kate & Frida
By Erin Murphy
Sometimes a book can change your life…
In Kate & Frida by Kim Fay, when Frida Rodriguez—a transplant to 1990s Paris, food-lover, and aspiring war correspondent—writes to a bookshop in Seattle, she thinks she’s merely requesting a book. Instead, she finds herself connected with Kate Fair, a bookseller at said shop and an aspiring author, who writes her back. And because of one letter and one book, a life-changing friendship is born.
Through the most tumultuous years of their twentysomething lives—personally and globally—Kate and Frida sustain and nourish each other as they learn the necessity of embracing joy, especially through our darkest hours.
To celebrate the release of this butter-soaked epistolary audiobook, Kim Fay shared a favorite recipe that she used to make in her early twenties with us: Laurie Colwin’s Tomato Pie from More Home Cooking. It’s cheesy, it’s bright, and it’s sure to make your home smell heavenly.
Invite Kate and Frida into your kitchen: let their zest for books, food, and friendship warm your heart while you warm your oven, and inspire you to share with those that you love. Tomato pie, like most things, is best served to a table full of friends when the cheese is hot and gooey.
