As a self-taught chef and lover of memoir - especially food memoirs - this was a wonderful look into the life of a great chef and how it all came to be.

We hosted the author on A Mighty Blaze and Madison was as gracious and wonderful as you could expect. Her memoir was so true, so honest, without the usual "rules for eating."

I do always love a food memoir. Deborah Madison is the big name in vegetarian cooking despite not being a vegetarian and I have always wanted to learn more. Her writing is warm and friendly and although I didn't have much interest in her faith, she wrote about it in an interesting way.
