This graphic novel/foodie memoir was a delight. It is amazing how a feeling or setting can be described so fully without many words. This story of how the author's childhood and early adulthood was shaped by people around her and the environment she was in that was full of food and culinary exploration and understanding is well done and wonderful. I can't wait to try the recipes included, and it makes me want to cook more, explore more and be someone that can bring people together around a table.

This book was one of the monthly picks for the Modern Mrs Darcy book club, and I'm very grateful for it. Not sure I would have found this story otherwise. The flight pick is Mastering the Art of French Eating by Ann Mah, and I'll have to add that to my reading list soon!
