Author of the internationally famous blog, Orangette, Molly Wizenberg recounts a life with the kitchen at its center. From her mother's pound cake, a staple of summer picnics during her childhood in Oklahoma, to the eggs she cooked for her father during the weeks before his death, food and memories are intimately entwined.

Molly Wizenberg writes about food in a way that makes everything sound delicious, and she writes about life in a way that makes me stop and think about how I spend my time. Her stories are lovely bites assembled into a delicious meal. I can't wait to try some of her recipes as well.
Wizenberg has a humorous way of describing the most mundane things, and weaves personal and familial anecdotes into all of her recipes. I really enjoyed reading this memoir—despite how hungry I felt after!
