Miss Cecily's Recipes for Exceptional Ladies by Vicky Zimmerman
4.0
The book grew on me as I read it. Fun read. The epilogue tells the history. My only disappointment is that the recipes were not included in the book. However, I plan on researching the "actual" cookbook listed in the epilogue.
A lot of great quotes -
While age may start to wither you, it cannot diminish your appetite for life.
You broke every rule in the book. Why do you want to teach? When I told her I didn't, she looked pained. It's rare I discover a true teacher, someone who can bring light in, and when I do, she can't wait to leave. It's an unjust world. (I do not totally agree with the next to last statement, teachers love what they do helping children with every ounce of their being but deal with a lot of extra stuff. However, it was very different at the time when Cecily was teaching,)
A good life is about the books we read, the things we care about, the friends we love and the care with which we love them. And a good life is also about how we choose to treat ourselves.
Male or female, that cat will be named Cecily because all carts are like Cecily - contrary, exquisitely standoffish, fussy about food - and sometimes they pretend they don't need you or love you even though they do.
