This has been on my TBR list for years and I never get around to it. Thanks for the nudge!

What a lovely review! I’ve got this one on my wishlist AND my netflix queue now!

I’m another fan. I whipped through this quick as can be! Have you seen the movie? It’s also very good.

Wow! I just found this book at the library used and picked it up. I grabbed it the other night before bed and started reading. I’m only into February but I am loving it. I also really don’t like her mom so I’ll have to keep reading to find out her story. Thanks!

I enjoyed this book, too. The author has written several others (with food/kitchen as “heart of home” being a common theme, I believe), but I haven’t read any of her other works.

I love this book, it’s one of my favourites. I can’t read it when I’m hungry though. The stuffed chillis get me every time. I really like your idea of having a party and trying the different recipes – that’s something I must do in the future. Have you read ‘One Hundred Years of Solitude’? If you enjoyed this, you may enjoy that too. I found it similar in style if not in content.

Meghan, I really loved this book. That magical realism is present in a lot of the Latin fiction I’ve read and enjoyed. I never made any of the recipes, either, but I remember one using rose petals, I think!

I have read this book too and loved it. I think it’s a really different book with all the recipes and magic.
