- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/53.5 As with music, I'm sure many of can remember when a particular song was played, food and meals can bring about the same type of memories. Favorite foods from our childhood, comfort food we still crave to this day, maybe even struggling to learn how to cook. Ann takes us through her life, associating food with her different memories. What a fantastic way to get to know a person, an author, up close and personal.She takes us through her young years, growing up in an Itslian family, always a pot of red sauce, called gravy, simmering on the stove. Dinner parties her mother hosted, dinner parties she later threw on her own. Learning to cook, her favorite, simple fried chicken recipe, her marriage, children, her divorce and later her second marriage, all associated with different foods, meals. Just a wonderful book, simply written, reminding me of all the meals I can remember, failures and successes to do with food and cooking. Recipes are included, and I'm so darn suggestible I went and ordered the cookbook she mentions more than once, from Amazon. ARC from Edelweiss.
