Review:

"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

"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 . . . Her recipes were easy and delicious. All these years later...I turn to Laurie Colwin. And she never lets me down."--Ruth Reichl, author of Delicious!

"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

"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
