I want to add my voice to the internet roar over this fantastic book. I'm a huge fan of Orangette. Come to think of it, Orangette was the first blog I really got into, and I've been a loyal reader ever since I stumbled across it. Thank you, thank you, Molly Wizenberg, for so many great reicpes that have made me popular at potlucks and parties of all sorts. This recipe in particular is much requested by the crowd I run with, and this one and this one too are perennial favorites. As a matter of fact, I made these cookies this weekend. YUM.
I made myself wait a bit before I started this book, because I just knew it was going to be over too soon. I was right. I completely devoured this book in a weekend, and have plans to try most of the recipes. It is just such a lovely book, illustrated by Camilla Engman, and packed full of fantastic anecdotes that made me laugh and cry-- sometimes together. I highly recommend that you check this one out!
Also, check out this adorable child's rolling pin and bread board my mom found for my nephew! I squealed when she showed it to me.

Maybe I should get that book (all blogland has it)...but I must say that I'm not really into cooking. I will try to find it at the book store (could be difficult in Montreal since most people are french).
ReplyDeletei love that book. i only let myself read half of it last weekend because, like you said, it's over way too quickly. i can't wait to try some of the recipes!

ReplyDeleteEven more similarities between us! Orangette was one of my very first blog finds, as well, and this book has been the treat that I squirrel away, not wanting to finish it too soon. My technique has been to only allow myself to read it either when I'm in the bath, or just before turning in for the night. Her writing is a dream and I'm fully convinced that should she and I someday meet (and my editor intends for this to happen), that we will become fast friends. Or I could just camp outside her house and go through her trash.
ReplyDeleteAshley- ha! Hopefully you won't have to go through her trash! Lucky you for having a chance to meet her! I agree, she seems like a very fun lady.
