While it definitely has the feel of a sequel, I still really enjoyed the entanglement of plotlines and the different perspectives of characters. Really made me think about how rarely we know all sides of a person's story. The food played a smaller role in this novel but the use of imagery, especially color and taste, still makes Bauermeister's writing delicious.

I definitely enjoyed this more on audio. A wonderfully sensory, visual book.

This is the author I will now turn to when I need a comfort read. Not quite as good as her others, but I rounded up because that's what you do.

At times I had trouble switching from character to character. I enjoyed this book but I wish it had more cooking involved like the first.

This is the sequel to The School of Essential Ingredients which I loved. I started reading this one and was not disappointed. I like how the author tells different characters stories in separate chapters allowing them to overlap just enough and answering all my questions by the end of the book.
