I was given a copy of Tasting Home for review by the author through GoodReads First Reads.
I really liked this book! Ms. Newton did a wonderful job weaving her life story around her cooking, and she provided some wonderful recipes.
Starting out in the 30's with her parents, and then telling the tale of her life through the different cookbook fads, she sprinkles her life story with the recipes that had meaning for her, at that time, behind them. Some I've done before, some I've never heard of, but all I am planing to use at some point or another soon.
Ms. Newton had lived an incredible life, one that I hope she feels proud of. I am impressed with how she handles the various obstacles life throws at her, and how well she has stuck by her beliefs-even if they weren't necessarily popular at times. I don't want to go into any more details, this is a book you should pick up and start reading! I regret that it took me this long to get around to reading it, when I could have had this enjoyment months ago.
5 Stars.
