Look, Meryl Streep narrates this book, and I would listen to Ms. Streep read the telephone book so I reccomend this book on that alone. It is also a charming and entertaining book in its own right. That said keep in mind that it was published in 1983 and thus has some very not PC commentary. Definitely has some racist, homophobic, misogynistic and elitist flavors at moments. Still I enjoyed the pacing and uncomfortable premise - cookbook author/memoir - and was intrigued that this is also apparently a somewhat autobiographical novel for Ms. Ephron.
