review 1: I was rather conflicted to give this book either a 3 or a 4 Star review. But I guess to sum it up, I would probably give it a 4 star as a memoir, and a book about food writing a 3. That being said, this book was still a good and easy read filled with little gem of moments, like plain simple dishes that pique certain taste sensation that brings you back to that particular moment back in time and place when preparing and sharing of food was a quotidian comfort.
review 2: A memoir with a strong cooking theme throughout (as the awful wordplay in the title tells you)... Kane suffered partial paralysis at a very young age, and had to rethink all of her life plans. I liked that she didn't try and turn it into a self-help book, it's a very honest account of what she wa... mores experiencing, including her cynicism about people's intentions and her worries about how she was viewed her in social settings. The last couple of chapters are somewhat anti-climactic, but I suppose that's the be expected when someone writes a memoir in their twenties. Some of the recipes mingled into the book look really good. less
