From the author: Every week I call my best friend from childhood and we talk for an hour or so. We don't gossip (much) or talk politics and religion. We only discuss the truly important things: what we ate and what we read that week. We share opinions and reviews about the books we read. Then we describe what we ate and share the recipes. The next best thing to eating good food is talking about good food.
"People who love to eat are always the best people." Julia Child.
