AJ's mom suggested this one for the second annual F Women's Book Group. It's a fun little memoir about a woman growing up with food and eventually becoming a food critic. Her mother's cooking was plain scary (it sounds like the family had iron stomachs, but the story of food poisoning an entire dinner party was hilarious in its recounting). All the recipes she included seemed too gourmet and complicated for my taste. Interesting and fun read, but it didn't stay with me much past the last page. Other books with food descriptions that I have liked more are Under the Tuscan Sun and Little Heathens.
