Wow, I love this book. Love, love, LOVE this book!!! I know a good book review summarizes the book first and gives you an overview of the contents. But I figure you've already read all of that so I thought I would just skip over that and get to the heart of what I loved about the book.
From the very first chapter I felt like I knew the author, Shauna Niequist, even though this is the first book I have ever read of hers. Her writing is very personable and I appreciated her honesty on her life situations. I believe I could walk into her kitchen anytime and we would talk about whatever subject comes up. I learned from her chapter "Start Where You Are" which talks about having people over for a meal even if you just serve them frozen pizza. She then goes on to explain how she enjoyed having people over and started reading cookbooks to find out how to cook. She, of course, is a fantastic gourmet cook so it was assuring to read of her beginning hospitality and how she was able to take it to higher levels.
Shauna told about her travels and writes about her own personal experiences with over indulgence. Her husband needs to eat gluten free but she is working on middle ground for herself......some fasting , some feasting. I love it!! (Have I said that before?) To top it all off, she ends almost each chapter with a delicious recipe!! I would recommend this book to anyone who loves to cook. Or not.
I received this book free from Booksneeze for an honest review. They did not say it had to be a positive review.
