The writing wasn't very tight, and there were a handful of typos, which I always find very distracting, yet I truly enjoyed this book. The author's search for her place in the world resonated very deeply with me, and her descriptions of Berlin made me want to pack up and move there ASAP. I haven't tried to make any of the recipes in the book, so I can't speak to their deliciousness or ease. They sounded rather tasty when I read through them, though.

Reasonably interesting, although I do admit to an inordinate fondness for books about food. Didn't feel compelled to rush out and make the recipes, however.

I really wish goodreads let you do half stars. At least for 3-1/2. I often wonder why there aren't more books out there about student exchange. This isn't that, but it is about someone who's pulled between different worlds (born in one country to parents from two different countries and who subsequently divorce), and figuring out where to make her home. It's a bit different than immigrant stories--some similar elements, but not the same.

And there's food. And recipes, for things I want to eat right now like yeasted plum cake and panade (though not necessarily in that order). I'm changing my rating to 4 stars. Though I really give it a 3.68.

Seems as if in this increasingly globalized world this story will be more and more familiar. I'm hoping people chime in with all sorts of recommendations for books about people living between countries...

I like The Wednesday Chef a lot, but I haven't been reading long enough to remember the whole story. This book was a nice summing up, as well as being many more things: cookbook, memoir, love story, coming-of-age. Maybe it's my age, but very much of it felt so familiar. Also, there are several delicious-sounding things in here that I want to cook.
