Rhia's Kitchen : Feel Good Friday: The quarantine cookbook, and Patrick Stewart is reading sonnets!

As the reality of Covid-19 is now the new normal, we at Simply Recipes are looking for brief respites from the anxiety and uncertainty that threatens to overwhelm. We need life-affirming reminders of the power of hope, humor, and humanity in the midst of this crisis, and we're guessing you do, too! Welcome to Week 10 of the Feel Good Friday newsletter, wherein I share some of the more cheering or compelling things I've read or watched this week. Have anything you'd like to share? Email me at cambria [at] simplyrecipes [dot] com with the title "Feel Good Friday." Thanks for being a part of our community! What I Loved This Week:

No knead bread. Always and forever.
That great British gardener Monty Don takes a morning walk through his garden en route to feed his chickens. This was so soothing to watch.
Must see: Grace Young's series on the plight of restaurants owners in New York City's Chinatown.
Patrick Stewart is reading through all 154 of Shakespeare's sonnets, one a day. He's on #63 right now. How did I miss this before now?!
Speaking of Shakespeare, PBS is streaming last year's Shakespeare in the Park's Much Ado About Nothing for free!
Also, Yo-Yo Ma playing the songs that comfort him.
Loved these inspiring photos of how people are celebrating graduations during the coronavirus crisis.
Props to the folks behind The Quarantine Cookbook, an ever-evolving digital publication of recipes and drawings, from both professional and home cooks. The subscription price is a one-time donation to a food bank charity of your choice!
And finally, a fascinating read on how King Arthur Flour found itself at the center of the pandemic-induced bread baking obsession: "During a crisis there are a lot of problems to solve, and you won't be able to solve them all. We decided the one we had to solve was how to get more all-purpose flour to consumers."

Wishing you a healthy, hopeful weekend. -Cambria Product and Lifestyle Director
