Amazon recommended this to me a few weeks ago. It really sounded like a memoir interspersed with recipes, so of course I bought it! However, after reading it, it's more a cookbook interspersed with memoir. Unfortunately I do not feel it is enough of a memoir to shelve it as one that could be used for the senior reading. Instead, it will be shelved in our still impressive cookbook section. Hopefully soon Covid will be gone and our Culinary program can resume making their award winning cuisine!
I had expectations this would be like Bruculinu, America or Prison Ramen or Crook to Cook or The Best Cook in the World, all reviewed here. But this was mostly recipes with brief, reflective tidbits. Now, that's not to say it's a bad book! There are recipes in here that are really mouth-watering, albeit unlikely for us here in New England to find some of the ingredients at Shop Rite. The photography is beautiful as well, which makes sense since when I read the author's bio, she's a food blogger and photographer. The recipes are arranged seasonally, with a suggested menu pairing of courses.
I will be adding this to our collection today. I hope you'll be able to check it out once we are back in person. In the meantime, take the opportunity to peruse our Public Library holdings at whpl.lioninc.org.
Please stay safe and well!
