funny informative lighthearted reflective fast-paced

4.0

This isn't the most polished, well crafted work of writing I've ever read. And usually it's difficult for me to get past that! But I did and really enjoyed this read; I barely put it down and finished it in approximately 24 hours. It's funny, it will absolutely make you hungry, it also hints at so many movies, TV shows and names drops so many celebrities that I did all that reading along with copious amounts of googling. I now have several new things to watch and have learned he and Colin Firth are besties and what more could want?! Obviously, recipes and they are in abundance. Very readable and relatable and charming. My favorite food writer, Ruth Reichl, still sits safely in a class of her own, but if you like her, this book is reminiscent of her work. Quite fun and I recommend!!

I wanted a bit more “life” and a few less recipes, but overall an enjoyable memoir. Recommended if you enjoy cooking or food, and the surrounding culture. Especially enjoyed the pieces that relate to Vancouver. Excellent narration.

So charming. I had no idea that Stanley recently overcame a bout of mouth cancer. I can't imagine how terrifying that was for the omnivorous actor. Read the audiobook, but not on an empty stomach.
