The School of Essential Ingredients… by Erica Bauermeister
‘A gorgeously written novel about life, love, and the magic of food and very much in the same vein as Chocolat and Like Water for Chocolate.’ A perfect Mother’s Day gift. “In this remarkable debut, Bauermeister creates a captivating world where the pleasures and particulars of sophisticated food come to mean much more than simple epicurean indulgence. Respected chef and restaurateur Lillian has spent much of her 30-something years in the kitchen, looking for meaning and satisfaction in evocative, delicious combinations of ingredients. Endeavoring to instill that love and know-how in others, Lillian holds a season of Monday evening cooking classes in her restaurant. Each student’s affecting story - painful transitions, difficult choices - is rendered in vivid prose and woven together with confidence. Delivering memorable story lines and characters while seducing the senses, Bauermeister’s tale of food and hope is certain to satisfy.”
