I have NO idea what's happening. The prose feels disjointed as the story hops from character to character without any flow. I wanted to love it, but ultimately dnf'd at 11%.
David Sedaris is amazingly funny. This book was traumatizing! Enjoyed every bit of it, even if I was disturbed.
This is the best cookbook and one I've relied on for well over a decade. There are recipes for a wide variety of tastes. Some use dairy, some are vegan. Madison is thorough in explanation of selection, storage, and preparation of each vegetable.
We also use her recipes for bread, pizza dough, and other quick breads.
I've found this book to be indispensable and even purchased the new edition on my kindle to replace the very well used and loved hard copy we had in our kitchen. As minimalists I can say this is definitely one worth having - we have given away countless cookbooks over the years and this one has always been too precious to give up. Yay for Kindle versions!!!
This one is for the hyperactive and/or impulsive type. If you're inattentive you'll want to try elsewhere. Besides, Barkley comes off as self important and condescending which is very distracting.
