I've made one so far, egg salad with a big slice of tomato. very good. I'm going to buy the book, too many good recipes to try in it. All good comfort food that everyone likes. I'm looking forward to ...

Ate it up!
I can't ask for much more. Friendships, relationships between mothers and daughters, a bit of romance and drama, plus cooking? Gus, a fifty-year-old mother of two, has her own show, which is done in her house. She has had this show 12 years. However, she isn't like other chefs and the ratings are drizzling out. So Alan, the boss, adds a little spice, Carmen. Carmen likes to cook but likes herself ...

Rural Gothic
The humor of this glorious funny book resides mainly in Gibbons' masterly control of prose style; if you have only seen the movie, you know less than half of what the author has to offer. Yes, she creates a wonderful gallery of extraordinary characters, and the story clips along nicely if rather predictably, but it is the author's language that really gets you laughing out loud. Written in 1932, ...

Hug your children and don't let go...
The author's five year old daughter Grace died suddenly. She writes about her life and her coping with her grief. While the subject matter may turn many away, this 186 page book, which can be read in one sitting, will move you and particularly so if you have children. Many compare this book to Joan Didion's The Year of Magical Thinking. From my point of view, this book is in a different ...

Pantheon

A Subtle Look at Obligations to Others and How to Recover from Mistakes
If you haven't read any of the earlier books in this series, don't start with this one. Without the entire back story, many of the subtleties in the story will be lost. Alexander McCall Smith continues his thoughtful investigation of the social contract and doing the right thing to others in a moral sense. Isabel Dalhousie, being portrayed as a mere human who knows ethics, struggles on behalf ...

Great lowcarb cookbook- a must have
I love this cookbook. Full of some fantastic recipes and mounds of information on low carb products. Try the chili recipe with black soybeans, I couldn't tell the difference from any original recipe using kidney or pinto beans. YA gotta have this one.

This is a weighty tome that celebrates homekeeping with enthusiasm and a healthy dose of obbsessive-compulsiveness. The author, a doctorate in philosopy, has a law degree as well. Her childhood was influenced by two grandmothers with radically different styles of housekeeping, and her own home in a rural setting. She brings history, intellect, and a thoughtful approach to all the things that go ...

Great book for winter cooking!
I love this book. Really, I do. While some of the recipes are a little.. unnecessary.. the ones that I use are absolute gems. Mac and Cheese, Pot Pie, Biscuits and Gravy (my favorite!) Poor Man's Pie, Quinoa cookies, condensed soup recipes!!! This book gets a lot of use, and it's positives greatly outweigh the negative (Good Housekeeping and the conventional classics have the common sense recipes ...

The Truth: I'm a Girl, I'm Smart and I Know EverythingAs a positive psychologist who focuses on women and girls in my own books, my latest being The Truth, the diary of a 10-11 year old girl who is struggling to grow-up and yet stay true to herself, I have to say I love Ruth Reichl's books. I am not here to pick them apart. Rather I eat them up, from first course to last, as the most ...

A Cup of Comfort for Nurses
Even though I contributed a story to this anthology I wanted to share my opinion about the publication. I was very impressed with all the stories as I thought they spoke very well to the heart of nurses and nursing. The compassion and caring for fellow human beings came through in a very real and humbling way. I think any nurse would be proud in reading this book. It speaks well of our ...

Great patterns for all levels of quilters

Good food doesn't have to be complicated...
Great cookbook! Simple recipes using basic equipment and techniques... nothing fancy, just easy "scratch" cooking. The book itself is of high quality: front & back covers are solid with plastic spiral binding. The black and white layout is clear, with the recipes easily identifiable, and sprinkled throughout are vintage photos, drawings and articles... a real treat! The recipes are ...
