I wrote a cooking story. The characters in Between One Bite and the Next first appeared in my novella What the Ring Heard, which has been published on Amazon. However, you do not need to have read that novella to enjoy or understand this cooking story. This work stands on its own, focusing on quieter moments, shared meals, and friendship.
You can buy the novella book What the Ring heard here on Amazon:

Here is the summary:
Between One Bite and the Next is a gentle, episodic story about three people who come together in a small kitchen and slowly learn how to belong to one another. Through shared cooking—avocado brownies, candied walnuts, apple pie, dumplings, soups, and simple meals made after long days—their lives begin to overlap in ways that feel natural rather than dramatic.
At the center is Stella, a woman used to observing rather than participating, whose world has always been defined by enough, but never excess. As she watches Andy’s restless experimentation and Cecily’s steady competence, she finds herself drawn into a rhythm of waiting, tasting, and staying. The food becomes a quiet language: not a solution, not a symbol, but a way of being together without needing to explain why.
This is a story about ordinary evenings, repeated meals, and the small spaces between actions where connection quietly forms—between one bite and the next.
