It‘s so interesting to read how Ansel came up with his recipes and how he looks at the world through the eyes of a baker. It‘s intense to see some of the advanced recipes take 3 pages of prep, baking, and assembly over many days. However you cannot rush perfection. It gives you time to learn and grow as a baker and get the difficult techniques down. I cannot wait to start baking!

Dilara Oh yes, I have this book and it is intense. I am keeping it for when I am retired and I have the time 😂 1mo
KaylasReadingNook @Dilara The intermediate and expert lessons definitely require a ton of time and dedication 😂 My husband said it wouldn‘t be so bad. I told him about the marshmallow chick in the egg and that it used a real eggshell and he thought it was an expert lesson. When I told him it was a beginner lesson he paled 😅 1mo
Dilara @KaylasReadingNook That's funny 😂. Have you made anything from the book yet? (I haven't) 1mo
KaylasReadingNook @Dilara I haven‘t yet myself but I am planning to this summer. Trying the early recipes and building up to the more extreme 😄 3w

TheBookgeekFrau @AuthorDeniseTurney Not great. I bailed 3/4 of the way through bc it was just starting to annoy me. But I also didn't love the devil wears Prada either, so it could be a "me" thing ? 1mo

Mi ricordo poco anche questo libro. C‘erano alcune cose che mi avevano infastidito e lasciato l‘amaro in bocca ma ricordo una bella lettura. Innovativa

Book 14 for the year. This was a quick audio”read”. Love this little series. A cozy mystery and a little magic. Yes please. Now on to book 4 in the series.

An unusual novel about mental illness and family, violence and revenge, love and secrets. It had a usual structure, cutting back and forth in time and the narrator occasionally speaks directly to the reader. Lots to think about in this book.

A historical fiction series featuring midwife, Sarah Brandt and Detective Sergeant Frank Malloy. This is book number seven and in it the duo is on a mission to find out who is responsible for impregnating Sarah‘s developmentally disabled patient. I am sad I came to this series so late, but was thrilled to learn there are 26 books in the series with a new one slated for April 2024.

kspenmoll This is a fantastic series! 3mo

It‘s fantastic. I now know there‘s library in the Met & NY that the New Society Library ( set in an opulent brownstone) is open to the public. It also includes a few author homes & bars. But mostly it covers stores of every type in every boroug. There‘s a very interesting one devoted to old cookbooks that I want to see even though I hate to cook. Clearly aimed at book-obsessed people ( guilty), the book itself is gorgeous.
