As we get to know Ruby, we learn she has a secret passion for singing, a talent her deaf father, mother, and older brother can never fully understand or appreciate. When a well-meaning teacher encourages Ruby to train for an audition to study at Boston's Berklee College of Music, she faces a crossroads. Because her family depends on her to help them negotiate the hearing world, her depature to pursue her dream may be too difficult for Ruby and her family to bear.

CODA not only won top prizes at Sundance, it was recently awarded the Best Picture honor by the Producers Guild of America, and the coveted top Screen Actor's Guild honor for best cast of the year, making history for the first film to win this honor with a predominantly deaf cast.

Accomplished stage and screen actor Rebecca Gibel has a small role in the film, and we were thrilled to see her as part of this amazing cast simply because she has voiced our Coffeehouse Mystery characters for years through her talented narration of our audiobooks.
For 19 books now, Rebecca has given audio life to our cast of Coffeehouse characters, and we could not be happier about her involvement in this wonderful picture!
So happy congrats to CODA and our audiobook narrator
Rebecca Gibel on all the well-deserved recognition!

During Lent, we often receive requests to re-share our Italian Fried Shrimp recipe, which we first introduced in our 8th Coffeehouse Mystery Holiday Grind.
Fish on Fridays is still a tradition with many households, and this recipe will show you how our favorite coffee hunter, Matteo Allegro, makes it in our Coffeehouse world (which is also how we make it in our own little Queens, New York, kitchen)...

I just finished Honey Roasted and loved it--of course, you had me at "honey." Thanks for this exciting news. I will give the audio books a listen.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to know you enjoyed our new Coffeehouse Mystery, Barbara. Thank you! The audio versions are wonderful, and we appreciate the tremendous talent actor Rebecca Gibel has lent us for those productions. We hope you enjoy them, too.

Cleo, this is exciting news. I love your books and your audiobooks, too, and CODA sounds wonderful. Congratulations and best of luck to Rebecca Gibel.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Susan. Marc and I appreciate your kind words. Cheers for stopping by the Kitchen today!

Hello Cleo, I have been a fan of your Coffeehouse Mysteries for years. I buy them in print because I enjoy reading the stories, and I also enjoy making your recipes. I have started to listen to them on audio while I’m driving or walking. I enjoy how Rebecca Gibel voices all the characters in your series. Ms. Gibel is quite talented, and HONEY ROASTED was so good! Please do not stop writing. I am also looking forward to watching CODA. From how you describe it, this sounds like a movie I would enjoy watching with my whole family, and movies like that are the best. Congratulations to the CODA cast on all their honors!

Hi, Helen - Thank you so much for your kind support of our work over all these years. Actor Rebecca Gibel (of CODA) is indeed quite talented, and we are lucky to have her giving audio life to our own cast of characters in the Coffeehouse Mysteries. Cheers for stopping by today, and you and your family should absolutely check out the beautiful Oscar-nominated film CODA. I think you will love it!

How exciting to have your audio books narrator in suc3h a great film. I saw CODA and loved it. I hope it wins Best of everything. I am a fan of your books x2. Honey Roasted is one of your best. cCongrats to all!
ReplyDeleteWaving to you in NJ from NYC, and I'm glad to know you enjoyed both HONEY ROASTED and CODA, cheers for stopping by the Kitchen!

These shrimp sound divine and Matt's voice comes through loud and clear.
ReplyDeleteWhat temperature should the oil be ideally?
There doesn't seem to be a "Like" button to click.
Hi, Libby - 350 F. is a pretty standard oil frying temp. but many people do not have the proper (safe) thermometer for measuring hot oil, which is why we (via Matt!) have directions that help novice cooks determine when the oil is hot enough (but not too hot).
DeleteThanks for dropping by the Kitchen!

Few movies really touch your heart strings, but this one played a symphony! I loved each minute, laughing and crying sometimes at the same time! The connection to your books makes it even more special! I will be rooting for it from the couch on Sunday night hopefully after a dinner of Italian fried shrimp! Grazie!
ReplyDeleteYou're very welcome, Sharon! And cheers for rooting for CODA (Marc and I will be too!), but whatever happens at the 2022 Oscars, this little indie film has beaten the odds as a winner with so many awards already. Its Oscar nominations for Best Picture, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Adapted Screenplay are wins in themselves because they've encouraged so many more people to discover it. The film truly does touch the heart while opening the door for new understanding. Cheers again and thanks for stopping by the Kitchen!
