Welcome to Litsy!

I read the book not long after it came out, so I don‘t remember much about the story. However, I did remember there was a fabulous lemon bar recipe! It is a “cockaigne” recipe from Joy of Cooking, so you know it is extra delicious. We made lemon bars recently, so I tried it again. Different from the traditional style in that they are lemon curd bars - the filling sets soft and creamy like it was topped with lemon curd. Very lemon-y! #mtcookbook

This book was long and tedious. I thought at least the recipes would be good, but they were just like the author a “food snob.” Nothing was down to Earth! Her sophisticated palette can not compete with my plebeian tastebuds.

Good recipes, but the memoir portions made the author seem unapologetically snobby.

"Dammit, now I'm hungry!"
Lots of good-looking recipes in here ?
