by Molly Wizenberg, Camilla Engman
Part essay-collection, part cookbook, I was greatly charmed by this book by Molly Wizenberg. Her essays were short and sweet, and fully explained to the reader, Molly's love of cooking and anything cooking-related. The recipes were unusual, and most of them sounded absolutely delicious. I've bookmar...
A combination of memoir and recipes. I liked the way Wizenberg was able to weave together different portions of her life in a way that didn’t feel sort of self-indulgent or self-congratulatory. And some of the recipes look really good. [Mar. 2011]
Bone-shaking grief…redemptive love…and the finest chocolate cake ever to grace an oven…When Molly Wizenberg began her blog Orangette in 2004, she thought it would make a great storage space for her musings about life, food, and how the two influence each other.
