anyone have a good story involving food?

I didn't know where to post this, sorry moderator, so I thought I'd start here. I searched and couldn't find any other place where this could be appropriate.

I'm freelancing for a magazine that wants stories of how food sort of brought about an epiphany or reconciliation between people. It can be from anywhere in the US and Canada.

If anyone has anything, please PM me and let me know your story. It would go into a publication based in Northern New Jersey.

Here is an extended version of my original email:

It's for a piece called Recipes for Living, where women (sorry no men - the magazine is for women) share their true stories of how one food dish improved their
life. For example:

"The cookies that ended a stand off with my teen"
"The pot roast that won me the love of my life"
"The coffee cake that helped sooth a stubborn neighbor"

Most people have positive memories about food (like, "my mom always made
this special birthday cake that I liked...") but those aren't the stories
I need. I'm looking for dramatic stories about how food can trigger
positive change in people's lives. The magic is showing how food can
actually help women get over a tricky relationship hurdle.

So that's it --- any women out there with stories???
