More reading from the blue chair~


I read cookbooks like novels but not in great gulps.  I leave the current read by my blue kitchen chair (that goes outside in the summer) and at a few times during the day I sit down there with the current new cookbook or an old dog-eared friend and read. I slip a paper between the pages of the recipe I want to try from that book yet sometimes I am so inspired I get up and produce something.  At times it is the very recipe and other times it is a hybrid inspired by a recipe that I have just read. I finished Ruth Reichl's My Kitchen Year and was pleased to leave her happy at the end.  She had quite a journey in the year after Gourmet, but she seemed 'fixed' by the year she spent in her kitchen cooking away and getting back in touch.  Honey & Company is now on the blue chair read.  I can stand maybe eight to ten pages at a time reading a cookbook, but then I have to 'do something'. Honey & Company is London based and I am eager to read on. (But I am also into Lisa Gardner's new book, Find Her, which is a psychological thriller and she is really good at what she does.)
