Pieman, The Papa D Story received this award from the International Impact Awards in the non-fiction culinary memoirs category.
August 26, 2022
Pieman, The Papa D Story was released today on Amazon. This is a true story of one man's journey to self during a special time in his life. A time that fell into place when he learned to let go and trust his intuition.
It is also a business adventure towards the end of his working life, with plenty of obstacles to overcome. It might have never been a success if he hadn't opened his mind and accepted that things can go ‘right’ sometimes.
It was a time when he let the magic happen, and found himself on a journey searching for the secret to life through comfort foods.
The man in this story is my husband, Dennis Bourgo, and we wrote this memoir together. It's available through online retailers and your favourite bookstore can order it in.
