Dinner: A Love Story

I just finished another book, this one Dinner: A Love Story.  I loved it.  It's a unique writing style that is a mix of prose and recipes.  It is the non-fiction narration of Jenny, her husband Andy, and their two daughters, Phoebe and Abby, and their tradition of family dinner.  She took the book through three distinct phases: she and Andy as a couple and the dinners they had, she and Andy with young, picky eaters and the dinners they had, and she and Andy with girls that would actually start eating (circa ages 7 and 8) and the dinners they had.  It was witty and quick with what I hope are fantastic recipes in between.

Perhaps more than anything, this book made me want to start cooking more fancy dishes: fish tacos with pineapple salsa, pork ragu with pappardelle, the works.  It was a refreshing read that I've got all marked up: highly recommend it, especially if dinner is important for you.
