I love listening to Alison Roman chatter away while she cooks and all of her cookbooks have this similar quality in its writing. It’s like hanging out with a friend who you find slightly ridiculous but love all the same (given that at times, I find myself ridiculous too).
Why did it take me a year to get through this one? Well, similar to Roman herself, I am very much a savoury eater with the very occasional sweet tooth, plus I don’t make desserts (much to the chagrin of my husband). So there wasn’t a delicious-sounding pork stew or grilled veggie dish to nudge me further along. I would simply sign this out from the library whenever it became available and read a few pages here and there as the fancy struck.
Like Roman’s other cookbooks, I enjoyed reading it cover to cover. Unlike the others, I don’t see myself trying any of the recipes (except maybe the banana bread) and will not be picking up my own copy.
