Feature interview: Group Living and the meals that matter

"We only deserve it if we share it." This was the unwritten rule in the home where food writer and entrepreneur Lola Millholland grew up. Her parents always welcomed exchange students, friends, artists and just about anyone who needed a place to stay. While the communal house may have been chaotic and messy, Millholland says she discovered that friendships and non-romantic relationships can provide stability and security that's undervalued. She's written a book about some of the many meals and gatherings in the home where caring for each other is an essential ingredient. The book is called Group Living and Other Recipes.
