I've just finished a wonderful book by Kathleen Flinn, The Kitchen Counter Cooking School, How a Few Simple Lessons Transformed Nine Culinary Novices into Fearless Home Cooks, which is the second of her books I've read. We at Cook the Books, featured Burnt Toast Makes You Sing Good last year, and I did enjoy it, and posted about my Perfect Pizza, but this one I'm way fonder of. Great sense of humor right from the first paragraph, where she explains what got her started on the project that led to this book. She says: "Normally, I do not stalk people in grocery stores. I confess to the occasional practice of supermarket voyeurism."
Following a woman and her daughter through the supermarket aisles, amazed at what they were putting in their cart, how she found herself convincing the woman to make better choices, without preaching or haranguing. Flinn gives down-to-earth information on changing eating habits whilst being entertaining at the same time. All that and with recipes thrown in.
