Charles said Not Just a Book for Women. I told myself upon receiving this book that I would read it slowly, savoring it like a well-aged Port. Well, forget that idea. I guzzled this book like light beer. It was so, well, me. I believe one of the keys to really enjoying this type of literature is finding a deep connection to the author - that the author is someone who you think, "I could hang out with this person for an evening." Mid-way through this book I told my wife and a good friend. "Shauna is the female version of me."While I don't write half as el. Feels like talking to a friend! Beth I am an unabashed fan of Shauna Niequist. I fell in love with her writing the first time I read Cold Tangerines. I've since read that book multiple times and have lent it to several friends. Bread and Wine, though somewhat of a departure, as it did focus primarily on food, is written in a similar vein. The chapters are vignette style and each are followed with a recipe that featured somehow in the vignette. I tried to savor it slowly, but I ended up gobbling them quickly. Some were sweet, some were savory and some . Makes me hungry for more than a scrumptious risotto. Kindle Customer The book is not just about the food. It's about the gathering. The loving. The savoring. As I hosted guests this week, and as we dined with good friends tonight, I found my mind returning to Shauna's reflections on life lived around the table.Great read with warmth, love, and deliciousness wrapped into it.
