Welcome to Litsy!

I wanted another slice of life like Our Not So Lonely Planet or Confessions of a Shy Baker with tons of food illustrations (because I love them 😍) and a hint of romance, and that‘s exactly what I got! We also get a look at the characters‘ insecurities and their hopes and fears for the future, which adds a nice dimension as well. Bonus points for including recipes in each chapter! #Manga #SliceOfLife #Food

I love Italian cuisine. Especially pasta. My favourite is spaghetti. I eat them all the time, not only in winter. These are with tomatoes and ricotta.

And my fave Italian singer (I always listen to italian songs while cooking): https://youtu.be/Z4-g8UXa944?si=y_XMecrmomZx8Gu_

The cold & new snow made for the slowly simmering Marcella Hazan‘s Bolognese sauce for dinner. ❤️🍝🥗

So good! I learned so much about refrigeration, but this has changed my view of modern life vs pre-refrigeration times (not that long ago!). Modern refrigeration has changed everything! The way we eat, farm, and subsequently waste food. It has shaped cities and communities around the world. Interesting chapter at the end about the downfalls of refrigeration and new technologies to preserve food to replace it. Also good on audio!

What a very interesting book about the history of where seeds and plants came from different countries to America.

Enjoy!

A delightful, breezy read, but don‘t read this book if you are hungry.

Thanks, @ChaoticMissAdventures

Oh Stanley, why can‘t we be friends?? 💚🤍❤️

This is a fantastic discussion about the intersection between being Jewish and being Black and the way the cultural landmarks of traditional food help define both. I‘m a huge fan of this author‘s work.

First finished book of 2025! There seemed to be some missed potential in not connecting the individual vignettes but otherwise it‘s a nice cozy book! Apparently GoodReads has a list of cozy translated novels….and I‘ve read several. This genre is my jam! Thanks, Rachel, for sharing this book with me! I really enjoyed it! #LitsyLove

This was my first Reichl after saying for years I was going to start reading her books. Glad I started here - such a great inside peek to magazine life.
