Miriam's Kitchen: A Memoir

I actually had to read this book for one of my classes (Religion & American Foodways), though it's certainly a book I would have picked up on my own before now. I enjoyed reading this book, but I'm not sure I would read it again. Ehrlich has a descriptive, narrative voice that is good, despite the interwoven memoirs of many people from her family and her husband's family. But it also did not have that compelling factor that made it a book I would want to read over and over. I also felt that the tone of the memoir was one of remembrance and reaffirmation, so the humor of familial memoirs was lacking here.
