The act of reading ... begins on a flat surface, counter or page, and then gets stirred and chopped and blended until what we make, in the end, is a dish, or story, all our own. — Adam Gopnik
I'm so excited about this one. I greatly enjoyed reading and listening to her short biography of Julia Child, two of the six remarkable women are Eleanor Roosevelt and Barbara Pym, and ... 'culinary biography.' Oh, yes please.
Hmmm...there's a lot of food in Barbara Pym's novels, and apparently ER was well known for serving terrible food ... but that's just a guess. I'm looking forward to finding out.
Something from the Oven and Perfection Salad have been on my reading list forevwe...time for me to read them, too!

Another book for my list! I bought Something from the Oven not too long ago. Thanks for the incentive to read it before her new book is released ;-)
What an interesting idea for a book. I wonder why they chose those particular writers?
