Less memoir and more recipe book/how-to than I was expecting. However, I appreciated the simple staple recipes included, and how they are arranged seasonally. I especially liked her practical approach to making do each week and month, and how it didn't ever mean the quality of her meals suffered. Indeed, the quality and meaning seems to increase exponentially as she gets closer to her sources and builds community. The tips she offers are very actionable, and I hope to slowly begin incorporating many of them into my own life.
