Welcome to Litsy!

This is a sweet story about a middle-aged woman who befriends 93-year-old Edward after the death of his beloved wife. They bond over delicious food & their friendship changes her life. Listening to this made me very hungry! Thanks for the recommendation @DebinHawaii ! 4⭐️

I loved this book in the beginning but by the end I was disenchanted with the elitist/lecturing tone it took. In her older years, Jones seems to lose touch with the changing tastes of society and laments the loss of what she‘s as superior. Her recipes call for calves‘s brains, rabbit in a sour chocolate sauce, shad roe, duck gizzards, etc. none of which appeal to me. I will attempt a gluten free version of her Butterscotch Cookie recipe though!

I totally read this in Julia Child‘s voice in my head.

(To clarify Julia wasn‘t talking about Italians, but referencing the low fat health craze that eliminated butter and sought alternative cooking oils)

From my brief Litsy scrolling, I see I‘m virtually joining a few other Littens for a Friday unwind with book/libation. Cheers!

With a bio coming out on Judith Jones, who I didn‘t know is a reason we were introduced to Julia Child, Marcella Hazan, Claudia Roden, Lidia Bastianich, to just name a few. I wanted to read her memoir as my introduction to this gastronaut I‘ve not been acquainted with before. It‘s riveting. Halfway thru & highly recommend

#Farm made me think of this cookbook which has been in my collection for years. I purchased it when I was getting weekly CSA boxes back in the day & needed lots of recipes & ideas for all the parts of the veggie. 🥕🥬💚🌽🥒

The memoir of the editor at Knopf responsible for the publishing of Julia Child‘s Mastering the Art of French Cooking & the Knopf Cooks American series.

This was so interesting! It was fascinating to read through a life so heavily influenced by a love of food and cooking. Her friendships with the authors she worked with were delightful. & recipes at the end! Unfortunately, shorter than I would have liked, it felt very bullet point. 🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑

I love books and movies that feature #food and really enjoyed this #graphicnovel. It‘s cute. 🧑‍🍳💋
