pickI ended up listening to the audiobook version of this, and I‘m glad I did. The author reads it herself and you can hear the emotions in her voice in certain parts. I liked what she had to say about being a working mother. I‘ll transfer my notes to the book and get it in the mails this week @TheBookHippie @ElizaMarie @bookandbedandtea #LMPBC
It is that time of year when I do a summer reading list for my best friend!! 🤓

We watched the show and had to get the book after trying out four of the recipes. Today we tried the meatloaf roll, which was done about 10min before the postie brought the #BookMail.
pickI liked Bourdain. I liked him best when he was slightly uncomfortable in a new place, but still bringing his considerable charm to bear in making his hosts at ease & part of the joke (& never its butt). This book has much of his charm, and only a hint of the travellust. I don't agree with it all (I've done fine in a dif testosterone-poisoned career so doubt women can't make a kitchen their own too) but the charm kept me happily listening along.
pick#MtCookbook Week 2
I had the this out all Dec, planning to try different things through the holidays. Ha! The first recipe I tried this week - Cheese Pie with Chestnut Pastry, Brussels Sprouts, & Hazelnuts
Holiday comfort food, the flavors were a bit reminiscent of Thanksgiving. I had my doubts on the all-butter chestnut crust, but it actually had quite a good crisp, tender crumb. It was more of a creamy Brussels sprout & onion, than a cheese pie.
so-soI‘m not enough of a foodie to like this book. It‘s pretty well written, just some of the food terms and stories weren‘t up my ally.
Well, this popped up on my Instagram & made me very sad this morning. Aussie Chef, Bill Granger passed away yesterday at age 54. I have three of his cookbooks in my collection & he seemed like such a lovely person. Gone way too soon. 💙😥
