"Never Cook Bacon Naked": A great summer beach book

by Doreen Chila-Jones (Compiler)

We have all done ruined an entire dinner; burned a piece of toast; served raw chicken to our guests. Cooking can be a daunting, frustrating, and hopeless pursuit . . . and when you are in a pickle, it's time for a little pep talk from some of the biggest cooking and non-cooking experts―people like Julia Child, Thomas Keller, Alice Waters, Truman Capote, Maya Angelou, and many others who, at one time or another, have also scorched their lunch. But remember, as the cookbook author Alana Chernila likes to say, "Homemade food is the opposite of perfection." A great summer beach read.

AND I'M JUST BEING TOLD THIS NOW! But seriously, this book is filled with inspiring quotes about cooking and how we connect with food. Some quotes are funny, but some have a much deeper meaning, but all are very relatable. Know someone going through culinary school? Here is the perfect gift for them!

A nice little book of quotes about food/cooking/baking. Pleasant diversion when I had a minute or two to spare. There is nothing earth-shattering or life-changing in here, but there are a few good reminders buried in these sayings.

Humorous and sometimes thoughtful quotes!
