Book Review: Home Cooking

This is so much more than a cookbook. Home Cooking does include recipes and very good instructions, but there are entries along the way. I love the style with which Laurie Colwin wrote. It is so inviting and welcomes the reader to realize that cooking does not need to be scary nor does it require complicated, expensive equipment. I feel this book is so refreshing and funny.

I feel that this book is a wonderful book for all readers, whether a novice cook or an experienced chef. 

I was given this book by NetGalley and Open Road Media in exchange for my honest opinion.

Book Review: Footprints in the Desert

This book is such a descriptive book that it will make the reader pause, at times, in wonder. Footprints in the Desert by Maha Akhtar is set in Arabia in 1916. This book pulled me in with the female character who is strong, and believable. This fast-paced book is taking place during the uprising against the Ottoman empire.

Quite often books such as this write a book that only appeals to men, as the women are pushed into the background. This book does not do this. She is up for whatever faces her, danger, desert and more.

I loved this book, and I would recommend it to all.
