pickI really didn't know that much about Ellen Burstyn's personal life. What a shocking true story! I found it completely engrossing and heartbreaking.
Has anyone read this? Your thoughts are welcome. I am having trouble getting into it. Should I stick it out? I'm on page 136!
bailedI tried but I just couldn't get attached to these characters. I got halfway through and gave up. Hope I wasn't hasty.
pickUnbelievably delicious Italian recipes. One of my favourite chefs in NYC, Andrew Carmellini, thoroughly tested every single recipe in this beautiful collection. Try the Gnocchi! Perfection!
panI stuck with it, even as the story became more and more unbelievable. There was a big buildup and then it fizzled at the slightly creepy and disappointing ending.
pickJust a few of my cookbooks! Tried and true recipes that work! The Fried Chicken recipe is off the charts.
pickWhat an incredible life! I never really enjoyed watching The Two Fat Ladies on tv but this book had me hooked from the moment I started reading it. Clarissa Dickson Wright had a horrible childhood at the hands of her abusive father. As a young woman in London in the swinging sixties, she beat the odds and became a top barrister who was always the life of the party. And that's when the story truly begins!
I adored this memoir. Former New York Times Food Critic and Editor of Gourmet Magazine, Ruth Reichl takes you back to her quirky New York childhood, through her food obsessed formative years and then early culinary career working at Chez Panisse while living in a commune. So cool! A real page turner for food lovers.
This deliciously fascinating, and sometimes heartbreaking memoir captivated me! I could not put this down.
So far so good. Anne's description of her post war childhood and the dishes she ate on the family farm in Yorkshire, England is holding my attention. I want to keep reading. Love the recipes sprinkled throughout.
