Getting a book for Christmas is a gift that keeps on giving. I received the book, A Homemade Life by Molly Wizenberg, from Keith. It immediately spoke to me! Look at the cover..the colors...the title and the statement just under the authors name: The creator of Orangette. Well....what does that mean? Guess what I found ? A blog! Molly is one of us!
Do check her out!! http://orangette.blogspot.com/
A Homemade Life is not the usual cookbook. Each recipe is spoken of from Molly's life and the kitchen at the center of the family. It is the kind of book that can be picked up for a few minutes of reading, or read slowly for hours while curled up in the warmth of home. Whether you are a great cook or not...you will enjoy the stories that come from Molly Wizenberg. You will also want to do some cooking after reading about the recipes. I'm particularly interested in the Fennel salad with Asian pear and Parmesan on pages 238-239!
Barbara Fairchild, Editor in Chief, Bon Appetit Magazine says this,
"Molly Wizenberg writes with wit, style and heart. Her delicious recipes are a special gift to every reader and home cook."
If you enjoy good food and want further inspiration, please go to my nephews blog Feast. When we have a large family meal..... Keith brings the most interesting of all the dishes. We are lucky to have a cook like this to FEAST with!
Thanks, Keith!

Sounds like the perfect book for you to receive, for Keith to give, and for the rest of your family to ooh and ahh over. :)
Sounds like a delectable read!
Oh, I love the Orangette blog! I've not read her book yet though... it's on the list. ;o) Happy Days, Julene ((HUGS))
looks great...
I have to go check out those blogs
I am glad so many of the younger generation really like to cook. Helps at big gatherings...because I don't really like it (o:
Sounds like a yummy read! I am going to check out her site and cookbook. Have a great week!
I think that orangette is also the name for chocolate-dipped orange peel - which is my favorite candy of all! Julene, your cow painting is excellent! I'm glad painting is on your list. You've inspired me to make a list. I tend to let my plans and ideas just swirl around in my head and that is not a good way to actually get things done. Happy New Year!
Definitely sounds like a perfect book for you. I'll go check the blgo. Happy New year..its the year of the Rabbit :)
I'm so glad you like the book. I found her writing so charming. I felt like I found a kindred spirit when I read her book. In my mind she's a modern Anne of Green Gables. We have exchanged several emails and she is just as charming in real life. PS. the ginger cake recipe is great too.
