RECIPE BACKSTORY
“In the kitchen May and Rosaleen were working on pancake batter. … The trashcan was full of banana peels, and the electric percolator bubbled into the tiny glass nozzle on top of it. Bloop, bloop. I loved the way it sounded, the way it smelled. … May drizzled batter on the griddle in the shape of a big L. ‘This one’s yours,’ she said. L for Lily." -Sue Monk Kidd, The Secret Life of Bees
