Did not finish book.
I absolutely love the watercolor pictures. But I see today it has been sitting in my to read list for a year and I thought that was long enough. I won’t finish reading it properly but I do use the book and recommend it. It’s very interesting how the elements work together to make eating enjoyable.

I love reading Charles Martin sometimes, even though his books often end too perfectly. He does amazing with including lots of people and detail without it being at all confusing.

This book is disgusting and miserable. Everyone dies and I don’t care a bit. Definitely not a feel-good book. I’m glad I read it, but only because now I can say I have.
