recommended for: everyone I know
Published 20 years ago, Laurie Colwin’s engaging series of essays about food, learning to cook, discovering ingredients, confessing kitchen failures, celebrating successes, and nurturing her family and her soul is still in print, despite the fact that she died unexpectedly nearly 15 years ago. The book (and its sequel) is that good. Colwin’s style conveys the comfortable ease of old and treasured friendship. Her vivid irresistible descriptions make you nod and laugh and salivate --and if you cook at all, send you into the kitchen. Highly recommended.
