Delancey: A Man, a Woman, a Restaurant, a Marriage by Molly Wizenberg
3.0
3.5/5
I hadn't heard of this author/blogger or restaurant before. While reading, I looked her up and got immediately sucked into her blog, Orangette. I enjoyed this foodie book, it wasn't too pretentious, which is something I LOATHE about some foodie types. The story made me appreciate the difficulty and love that go into opening a restaurant. I would love to go to Seattle where one of my first stops would be Delancey and several other restaurants she mentions in the book.
A note about the audiobook. Aside from the fact that listening to recipes isn't as great as being able to read them and refer to them, the person who voiced this book was not right at all for the part. Oh how she annoyed me! Her voice didn't match the lighthearted feel of the book. I can't imagine that Molly sounds anything like this.
