Book Review of The School of Essential Ingredients (aka The Monday Night Cooking School) (School of Essential Ingredients, Bk 1)

I loved this book. In some ways it reminded me of the movie, Chocolat in that Lillian was able to match food to people -- truly a luscious slice of life. There was no magic, no gypsies (like in Chocolat) just the flow of sweet prose and wonderful food. Each section was it's own little vignette, a glimpse into the lives of the participant attending the class. The book ended way too soon for me and I can't wait to get the follow-up book, The Lost Art of Mixing. Great first book Ms. Bauermeister! May you write many more.
