What a lovely little gem of a book. Bauermeister is a wordsmith of poetical caliber. I absolutely loved the food descriptions and I loved the weaving of the story through the cooking class members. This is a book I may have to buy so that I can randomly read a chapter every now and then.

I loved each tidbit in this book & hope that I can learn to slow down & truly taste the ingredients.

My second read of spring break. An excellent choice for spring break. The plot is simple: A woman runs a cooking school where people come to learn to cook, yes, but also to be healed. Little magical elements in the story, but it never felt forced or excessive.
