It's great and will make another worthwhile addition to my blogroll!<br />Funnily enough, I had a very quick glance at this book while I was dashing through Myer yesterday, but didn't have enough time to look properly and decide whether to buy it or not! Will do asap after your review.<br />Not exactly packed with recipes (although there are a few), but I am still in love with Jeffrey Steingarten's The Man Who Ate Everything, almost ten years after I read it for the first time! The follow-up, It Must Have Been Something I Ate, is also good, as are any of Ruth Reichl's books.<br />Regards,<br />Cookbook FiendEmilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17154155763488513272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1654323351013038175.post-51441346690964616042010-03-26T13:26:17.489+11:002010-03-26T13:26:17.489+11:00Hi EB,

I have little chance of remembering mother's day, so I gave it to her on the weekend. She is loving it, and my copy is working its way though our office.<br /><br />I will have to get it back so I can cook something from it - and I keep thinking of those little gaot cheese pastries.<br /><br />Can we expect a sequel?<br /><br />Wishful, Anon and Tassiegal, just logging onto bookdepository right now..list in hand :) <br /><br />MNolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04832101520413940500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1654323351013038175.post-66173602608122178112010-03-26T13:23:01.965+11:002010-03-26T13:23:01.965+11:00I quite like David Lebovitz's The Sweet Life i...I quite like David Lebovitz's The Sweet Life in Paris - a few more photos and good recipes.<br /><br />Or if you are kind of interested in graphic novels - French Milk by Lucy Knisley is one of my favourites.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1654323351013038175.post-70394194760965080522010-03-23T21:21:50.194+11:002010-03-23T21:21:50.194+11:00Great review !!!

I have not tried any of the recipes but each one is accompanied by a story of the first time the author made it, or a family memory associated with it. I really enjoy it.Tassiegalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01937005091364457746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1654323351013038175.post-10426790424037245372010-03-21T05:24:14.498+11:002010-03-21T05:24:14.498+11:00Hi Maggie - Thanks for your thoughtful review.
