A review by gbrewerw
The School of Essential Ingredients by Erica Bauermeister

4.0

So enjoyable. Read during the pandemic and ice storm of 2021, I delighted in reading about warm friendships, a warm kitchen, and the redemptive power of food. The structure of the book threaded pasts to the present, and each character was fully and satisfyingly drawn. [There were a few sentences where I wished an editor had caught awkward construction or strange word choice, but those detractions were only momentary.]
