IN A HOMEMADE LIFE: STORES AND RECIPES FROM MY KITCHEN TABLE, MOLLY WIZENBERG, THE FOUNDER OF THE ACCLAIMED BLOG ORANGETTE, RECOUNTS A LIFE WITH THE KITCHEN AT ITS CENTER.
"Food blogs abound but Wizenberg always has stood out as a storyteller as well as a cook, each written entry a jewel box of an essay and an impeccable recipe. The book is something of a memoir, but, more than that, it's about ordinary experiences distilled into the extraordinary. We all go through loss and love, childhood and adolescence shape us all, everyone needs to eat-but Wizenberg cooks up poetry." -Rebekah Denn, Seattle Post-Intelligencer
"Sparkling ...a coming-of-age story . that somehow manages to integrate shattering grief and erotic love with recipes for rum cream pie, toffee, and meatballs. Wizen- berg's recipes never feel like trite tack-ons; they're both a natural extension of her autobiography and an expression of her aesthetic, grounding this luminous memoir in the everyday and relatable. Wizenberg tells of meeting and falling in love with her future husband, ending the book with the recipe for the simple chocolate wedding cake she baked for herself. Few memoirs or chocolate cakes are more satisfying." -Jennifer Reese, NPR.org
