Reminiscent of Chocolat and Like Water for Chocolate, The School of
Essential Ingredients is a gorgeously written novel about life, love
and the magic of food. It follows the lives of eight students who gater
in Lillian's Restaurant every Monday night for cooking class. It soon
becomes clear, however, that each one seeks a recipe for something
beyond the kitchen. This book is a great pick for reading groups,
especially since Erica Bauermeister has previously compiled anthologies
about books for females of all ages.
Theme by Danetsoft and Danang Probo Sayekti inspired by Maksimer
