As soon as I did finish it, I started it all over and read it aloud to my husband. He enjoyed just as much. <br /><br />Here's an excerpt from her website:<br /><br />"Once a month on Monday night, eight students gather in Lillian’s restaurant kitchen for a cooking class. They come to learn the art behind Lillian’s dishes, but it soon becomes clear that each one unknowingly seeks a recipe for something beyond the kitchen. One by one, they are transformed by the aromas, flavors, and textures of what they create... is always delicious."Brenda @ Its A Beautiful Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02955486477303938670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5480122197396967360.post-58458449826077786702014-06-25T10:40:21.036-07:002014-06-25T10:40:21.036-07:00Vickie,

I love children's books the most, and my favorite that I read to my kids when they were little was the "Berenstein Bears."

Like you, I tend to prefer non-fiction.<br /><br />All the Anne of Green Gables books sweep me away to a quieter, more gentle time. Nice to be immersed in a simpler time and place.

I checked out the blog you mentioned and found that I'm not the only one having the problem. One commenter said that "blogger" had admitted it was something being worked out. I suppose I shall just have to wait. In the meantime, I'm happy to have found you. I'm an avid reader of both fiction and non-fiction and always grateful for a recommendation. <br /><br />Best,<br />BonnieFrom the Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00789641912016566894noreply@blogger.com
