Book Review: A Homemade Life - Stories and Recipes from My Kitchen Table by Molly Wizenberg - Page 3

With the whole internet at one’s disposal when deciding what to serve for dinner, my cookbook library stays small and carefully selected.

I have a feeling it will be a long while before, come dinner time, I’m tempted to open a web browser rather than A Homemade Life.
