Hearty: On Cooking, Eating, and Growing Food for Pleasure and Subsistence by andrea bennett
3.0
I was very kindly given an e-ARC audiobook via Netgalley and ECW Press Audio.
Because this is an essay collection, there's something in here for everybody. I can't say I enjoyed every essay, but you never like every chocolate in the chocolate box. My interest in regenerative farming or the minutia of houseplants might be minimal, but for others, it's exactly what they want to read! Other people might not want to know about andrea's attempts to perfect an English trifle or make dozens of different varieties of ice cream - but I loved it! I'd have loved to have seen more of those essays, but hey ho. This is exactly the kind of food essay collection that I love to read - it's a collection of essays about the joy of food that aren't particularly interconnected, but excellently written.
'Hearty' is available from September 3rd.
