"Wow! I read the fantastic claims on the cover, never expected to call them understatements. The critic for The Boston Globe compared this novel to To Kill A Mockingbird. Well, he is wrong, this book pulls you into the story much better than that. Maybe it's the fact that this book is a "coming of age" story about a grandmother.

Richard's Comments:
"This is a pleasure to read, and use. It starts with excellent guidance on equipment and techniques.

If you haven't done this style of cooking, this gem will convert you." (read more)

Bev's Comments:

The plot of her book is compelling and sufficiently twisted, but the experience of living inside it is extraordinary." (read more)
