My new cookbook memoir with Heliotrope books is out NOW.
It is a collection of vegetarian and plant-based Italian recipes served alongside chronicles of my Italian childhood, and tales of love, hope, and community you can only find in a kitchen.
Eating Again is my first cookbook. It is a collection of stories and recipes that chronicle my journey of healing from eating disorders through culinary self-care.
This cookbook provides rewarding recipes that are simple to pull together. These are some of my favorite dishes to pair with chronicles of my grandmother’s cooking; my upbringing in the foothills of the Italian Alps; my battles with eating disorders, alcoholism, addiction and depression; and reminiscing on all the people who, along the way, helped me write the recipe for the woman I am today. I hope you can enjoy this cookbook with me.
With Love,
Alice

“Alice Carbone Tench knows that cooking is a spiritual practice: we seek, we bond, and we heal by preparing meals with our hands. Spending time with Eating Again feels like hanging out in the kitchen with a cool, trustworthy confidante, sharing recipes and memories and maybe a few tears. Alice holds nothing back, and she’ll make you want to cook (and live) the same way.”
– Jeff Gordinier, author of Hungry: Eating, Road-Tripping, and Risking It All with the Greatest Chef in the World
“Food provides a tasty balm for the soul in this stellar debut, a blend of personal stories and heartwarming recipes. When Tench’s therapists “suggested food as a means of getting back in touch” with herself after struggles with bulimia and alcoholism, she turned to her roots and began cooking.”.. “This sincere and delicious chronicle is one to savor.”
– Publishers Weekly
“There is nothing in the world I love more than a cookbook that tells a personal story, and Alice Carbone Tench has written a beautiful book. Her bright, genuine tone and vibrant takes on Italian food will transport you. While one can experience her joy-filled Instagram videos, the book tells the deeper story. The connection to her history and to her family- both from Piemonte and Apulia, and the story of her deep relationship to her grandmother-really inform this collection. What a great book of easy to execute (and coincidentally) vegetarian recipes!”
– Patti Jackson, Michelin-Starred chef
“Eating Again is a cookbook that’s focused on whole-person health and infused with the flavors of Italy. Her recipes are the highlight of the book, but they wouldn’t be the same without the personal stories interspersed between sections. As the recipes invite people to Tench’s table, the stories open up her life and heart. They surround ideas of home and body image and venture from childhood to motherhood with grace, honesty, and compassion.”
– Melissa Wuske, Foreword Reviews
“Through Alice’s writing and her recipes, you can feel her struggles with unhealthy eating patterns, her love for her grandma, even the warmth of sunshine in Tuscany. This is more than a cookbook; it’s a creamy frittata for your heart and soul.”
– Julie Cohen, director of Julia, the new documentary on Julia Child, and RBG
