When Molly writes about food, you believe her. Her recipes are amazing, but even better is the way she intertwines her life story with various foods from her childhood, or that have made an impact on her. It'll inspire you to think more…

This was a quick, easy, and satisfying read. Molly W. is a lovely writer and I enjoyed the seamless intertwining of life + recipes. I need to go out and buy this book now, for the recipes!!

This book starts out strong and I really like the author's voice. I found it got a bit weaker later on after she meets her partner and starts gushing about what "we" like. The recipes look interesting though I haven't tried any yet.…

She's fun, self-deprecating and a really great cook! So the recipes are interesting and easily do-able. She discusses her family, friends and career and comes across as someone you'd really enjoy having as a friend.

Winzenberg connects food with moments in her life. It's a tasty read. I made the tuna bouchons and think they are probably most glorious, delicious and amazing things I've ever made in my life. AND they were so simple to make.

Absolutely delightful. I was a fan of her blog before I read her book, and it didn't disappoint. Also not disappointing: the winning hearts & minds cake, the french-style yogurt cake with lemon, the chana masala, the banana bread....Ok,…

I made the tuna buchons, banana bread with chocolate and ginger, potato salad, and french toast. They were all pretty delicious. The best was the french toast and the tuna buchons.

This was a sweet set of stories about the author's life and how food and cooking was woven through it. I especially liked that many of the recipes were for homey, very un-trendy dishes, just like we all grew up eating. The central…

I loved this book but had to read it a chapter at a time with lots of time in between because it made me soooo hungry! I made the ginger cake with caramalized pears and I swear I cried while I ate it, it was that good. Looking forward to…

I love food writing and I love memoirs and this book is a tasty blend of both. Each short chapter ends with a recipe that the author makes you want to try. If you want more Molly when you have finished the book (and I did) you can visit…

A moving account of Molly's life and her relationship with her father and family. Foodies will know Molly as the food blog world's Orangette. Her recipes are approachable and inspiring at the same time. Her descriptions certainly made me…
