"The butter bubbled and danced before giving way to the heat and disappearing into the thin pancake." 💕🥞

"I believe that life in the kitchen is similar to how we move through the rest of the world—it requires a little bit of planning and courage so that you end up with something delicious" (p. 41). 💕🍰

Very good thus far! “Looks a bit of a mess, but it tastes divine.” 🎂💕

Good memoir, interesting stories. But 2 problems with the first 2 recipes. Whole strawberries with a sprinkle of sugar on top, mashed with a fork. Seriously?. Loved the family story, but this is a bit contrived. 2nd, the jam making. As a jam maker myself, do the research. USDA guidelines! Her recipe =Botulism!

I was wondering about putting a cook book 📖 on here but then I decided that I read the book for 2 hours this morning! And learned a lot about baking and about Valery Lomas’ incredible journey. And her chocolate cake is being baked for me right now by my teen!!!
