Lost Art of Mixing | Erica Bauermeister
11 posts | 18 read | 11 to read
National bestselling author Erica Bauermeister returns to the enchanting world of "The School of Essential Ingredients" in this luminous sequel... Lillian and her restaurant have a way of drawing people together. There's Al, the accountant who finds meaning in numbers; Chloe, a budding chef who hasn't learned to trust after heartbreak; Finnegan, quiet and steady as a tree, who can disappear into the background despite his massive height; Louise, Al's wife, whose anger simmers just below the boiling point; and Isabelle, whose memories are slowly slipping from her grasp. And there's Lillian herself, whose life has taken a turn she didn't expect... Their lives collide and mix with those around them, sometimes joining in effortless connections, at other times sifting together and separating again, creating a family that is chosen, not given. A beautifully imagined novel about the ties that bind--and links that break--"The Lost Art of Mixing" is a captivating meditation on the power of love, food, and companionship. READERS GUIDE INCLUDED

So I was halfway through the book and thought I was only 3-4 chapters in because NOTHING HAPPENS!!🤬 You get all these characters and you get an overly detailed description about each one of them (most of them more boring than drying paint), all internal processors sharing the same brain (honestly, they all think exactly alike). Pages a characters college love life memories and you forget about the accountant. Who shows up at the end of the book.

Posh_Salad It drags and then, just when something interesting looks like it might happen, it doesn‘t. All the characters are able to trace their current damage to childhood interactions with the exact same pathos and introspection. Most of the time I couldn‘t keep them apart unless a name was mentioned. So frustrating!!😤 5y

Very sweet and well written book. I had put this book down when I was traveling and picked it back up and was right back in the world created by Baurmeister.

It was great to catch up with old friends, smile over happy endings, and wonder what will happen to a few friends left without resolutions.... A great, light, easy read. She has a comfortable writing style. Her food descriptions are superb for any food aficionados.

becmurr I love her books!! 9y
