"Colwin's writing is down-to-earth and friendly, as though she is
presenting little morsels she has prepared just for you. There are
no frills or tricks. Like a classic dish, her writing's magic in
its simplicity."--Charlotte Observer
"Filled with essays about food, family, and life. . . . Her writing
is a treat. . . .It's a joy to read--the kind of work that makes
you want to get cooking yourself."--Boston Phoenix
"Laurie Colwin teaches us how to cook, eat, deal with disasters,
write and live. We turn to her books for a kind of comfort and
sustenance that only she can provide."--Emily Gould, author of
Friendship and Perfect Tunes
"The first time I read Laurie Colwin I knew I'd found the friend
I'd always wanted to join me in the kitchen. Warm, funny and
unpretentious, she made me laugh and made me want to cook. Her
recipes were easy and delicious. All these years later, when I'm
feeling sad, or wondering what to cook, I turn to Laurie Colwin.
And she never lets me down."--Ruth Reichl, author of Delicious!
"We all need a best friend when we are at home cooking; this is the
next best thing."--Seattle Weekly
