Hard for me to complete it because I read it in Spanish, but once I got the hang of it I really enjoyed it. It always surprised me and had me engaged in the story.

This book was really enchanting. I'm obsessed with the format, people joke about how online recipes will have long life stories no one wants to read but Sra Esquirel actually did an amazing book in that format. Also I would never have expected something from 89 to be so sex positive, it was extremely refreshing.

An old favourite (especially the first several chapters)! I would really love to edit out the outdated racial language and fatphobic remarks to make this book hold up long term.

Under the Tuscan Sun meets Chocolat. I specifically enjoy the chapters featuring the wedding cake and quail in rose petals ;)
