3.0

In my recent spate of obsessive reading about food and cooking, Cathy Erway's book seemed like a perfect fit - a focus on home cooking over restaurant eating. And, for the most part, it met my expectations. I did slow down in the middle of the book, when it got to be more about freeganism and environmental issues than about cooking, and Erway's level of expertise when starting this experiment meant that I didn't actually learn very much about food or cooking (which is my problem, not hers), but I loved the ultimate message that I took away from it: don't settle for terrible food and bust out of your normal routines.
