Welcome to Litsy!

Beautiful memoir of moving to Minnesota and embracing the food and culture. Beautiful book.

I‘m going to try to actually review my #bookspin picks this year. (We‘ll see how long that lasts.) this was between a pick & a pan, so I‘m giving it a so-so. I enjoyed her writing about food bringing people together. I did not like what I consider fear-mongering about GMO and conventionally grown foods. I think we need to have conversations about agriculture, but I find these types of arguments unhelpful.

Starting the year off with some #bookspin & #doublespin picks for challenges. I don‘t remember which challenges right now, but I know these were for some!

Thank you @RebelReader ! Can‘t wait to read this and #bookitforward as well! Love our #job group!

On my recent visit to Omnivore Books in San Francisco I knew I wanted cooking inspiration, but I sought it in the form of memoirs rather than cookbooks. These two books did not disappoint. I tag team read both Home Cooking and In Winter‘s Kitchen. Both have unique voices, and both convey their love and respect for food and the importance of eating well. Thanks to both, I‘ve renewed my long dormant home delivery of produce.

An excellent book about the history of food in the Midwest. Part memoir, part recipes, part foodie history. Just my kind of book. Going to make homemade applesauce tomorrow.
