Please join this Book Club, in-conversation with Chrystal Genesis as she speaks with podcast host and author, Sutanya Dacres about her new book DINNER FOR ONE.

When Sutanya marries the Frenchman of her dreams at the age of 27, she moves to Paris to begin their life together as husband and wife. But two years later her American-in-Paris fairytale shatters around her when he abruptly leaves their marriage. To rebuild her life, she begins with learning to cook dinner for one in her Montmartre kitchen. Reeling from her sudden divorce and the cracked picture-perfect expat facade, Sutanya decides to figure out for herself what happens after the Paris fairy tale ends.

In DINNER FOR ONE the book, we watch her build Parisienne friendships, learn how to date in French, and examine what it means to be a Black American woman in Paris—all while adopting the French principle of pleasure, especially when it comes to good food, and what the concept of "self-care" really means.
