Reviews

"Colwin's writing is down-to-earth and friendly, as though she is presenting little morsels she has prepared just for you. There are no frills or tricks. Like a classic dish, her writing's magic in its simplicity."--Charlotte Observer

"Filled with essays about food, family, and life. . . . Her writing is a treat. . . .It's a joy to read--the kind of work that makes you want to get cooking yourself."--Boston Phoenix

"Laurie Colwin teaches us how to cook, eat, deal with disasters, write and live. We turn to her books for a kind of comfort and sustenance that only she can provide."--Emily Gould, author of Friendship and Perfect Tunes

"The first time I read Laurie Colwin I knew I'd found the friend I'd always wanted to join me in the kitchen. Warm, funny and unpretentious, she made me laugh and made me want to cook. Her recipes were easy and delicious. All these years later, when I'm feeling sad, or wondering what to cook, I turn to Laurie Colwin. And she never lets me down."--Ruth Reichl, author of Delicious!

"We all need a best friend when we are at home cooking; this is the next best thing."--Seattle Weekly
