It soon becomes clear that each of the 8 students gathering every Monday night for cooking class seek a recipe for something beyond the kitchen. Chef Lillian, a woman whose connection with food is both soulful and exacting, helps them to create dishes whose flavor and techniques expand into the secrets of her students' lives. A nice little book of interconnected stories.
I finished reading this book last night while cooking food to take over to Barry's for tonight's dinner. :)
I made slow cooked crock pot beef barbeque, a mexican "cheesecake" (crust is crumbled tortilla chips with a baked filling of various cheeses, eggs, salsa and peppers, topped with sourcream and avocado- not a sweet sugary dessert cake), and Phyllis gave me some of her delicious creamy chocolate fudge that I will share for dessert.
Wasn't feeling too perky yesterday and took a rest day from exercising; today will probably just be a light gym work out as well, and then long runs again this weekend.
