This was a quick read with recipes at the back. I’m unsure if my kindle wasn’t formatting the text the way it was intended but it felt very different from what I have read before. A couple of sentences seem to be on one page.

This wasn’t something I would read again but it was an interesting memoir. I just felt a little put off by the formatting

I did not enjoy the format of this book and so I was not able to complete it. It was written in a free format way and I just could not get into it. My apologies to the author.

I didn't really enjoy the format of this book. It was as though it had been thrown together in a hurry with sentences tossed out here and there, in between plates of food and random events. You can never really get to know the author, and maybe this was the intention of the book. Maybe it is a reflection of what life is like today for many people. It might resonate more with foodies, just not for me.

This is a memoir of a girl who decides to become a dancer. She enters Juilliard and tries her best to become a ballerina. But her life goes into a different route and she finds herself in a restaurant working long stressing hours ... She knows something has to change in her life!

This was quite a fun and super quick read. The whole experience was a bit surprising for me; i was expecting a book about becoming a chef or something like that (i was not totally mistaken tho). But there was much more to this book than just cooking and appetite.

Also the structure was absolutely modern, poetic and kinda hasty. I mean it was as if i was working as a sous-chef in a hectic restaurant kitchen😳 trying to keep up with the chef (author) and not messing up anything being so fast😫 Actually this was something i really liked about this book.
The author carries you back and forth in time super quickly, assuming you'd catch up on the way.
Tho this book was short, it had some deep unsolved issues covered. And honestly for me some of these issues were relatable, which is strange cause i have not experienced them at all.

A fast read. Memoir of a woman's love of food and cooking, interspersed with her pregnancies , births of her children, miscarriage. Written in short paragraphs, I didn't get a good sense of the author's intentions. The last third of the book are recipes for the dishes she had written about earlier in the book. Disppointing.
