The Lost Art of Mixing by Erica Bauermeister

4.0

For those of you who loved The School of Essential Ingredients like I did, this book is a must read. Her second book Joy of Beginners was good but this one is better. Maybe it's because she returns to some of the characters from School and it involves food - what is not to love? This book hits on the theme of the importance of actually talking to those people who you love. So many of the problems the characters encountered could have been alleviated by actually saying what they feel - hence the title. Good character development. The easiest characters for me to understand were Al (got to love the accountant in any book!) and Abby (the uber organized daughter). Oh Abby - how I understand you and think you're being mistakenly cast as a bad guy.
