I gifted this to my foodie husband months ago. He enjoyed it and read several passages to me which he was particularly entertained by. It was this month‘s pick for my local bookstore‘s book club so I read it myself and really liked it too. Great discussion and the facilitator brought two types of tomatoes for us to sample. She also played Homegrown Tomatoes by John Denver which was new to me.

Deciding what to eat for dinner & making the best food choices is certainly a dilemma. 🤔💭

This book is so cute! I‘m so glad I picked it up at the library the other day. Koishi and her Dad run a hard to find restaurant and detective agency. You describe a dish associated with a memory that you want to taste again and they will make it for you, make it taste the same as it did in that memory.

Highly, highly recommend if you need something cozy to read.

It‘s a pretty nice spring day. Starting a new book from my #AuldLangSpine list to try to get out of a bit of a reading slump. The barista excitedly told me she just finished this one as she was bringing me my dirty chai (also having overnight oats with apples and peanut butter).

Lcsmcat The splatters tell you which recipes are good. Or at least which ones were made the most. 😀 7d

“I entered the building unconvinced that a hot dog could be a breakfast dish in the way her sausage father was so famous for, and left gladly corrected — breakfast has more to do with how you feel than what you‘re eating, and the people and dogs of the 4 Way make me feel awake, full, and not to be fucked with.”

My Life in France | Julia Child, Alex Prud'homme

Pickpick

I do love a good memoir, and this is a classic for a reason. Recounting how Julia Child wrote Mastering the Art of French Cooking with co-authors and its successive volumes while in France due to her husband‘s political position. I became enamored with the vitality with which she describes not only food but everyday encounters with people and life in France. Love it.
