How I Learned to Cook by Margo Perin

dark emotional inspiring reflective sad medium-paced

4.0

This was a brilliant angle through which to create an anthology. I picked this book up many years ago, at once thinking I could contribute to such an anthology and wishing the idea to create one had been mine. The essays in the collection well well-curated and the arc of the book was especially well done. As with any collection, some pieces resonated with me more than others. My favorites include the pieces by Margo Perin (series editor), Jamaica Kincaid (predictably), Hillary Gamerow, Elizabeth Payne, Kim Chernin, and Alice Walker.
