The Professor Next Door by Jackie Lau

The Professor Next Door

The Professor Next Door is the third book in Jackie Lau’s Cider Bar Sisters series, and it stands alone, though it’s a bit more fun if you have already met Nicole’s friends. Like all the other stories in this series, it will make you want to go to Toronto and eat your entire body weight in desserts. Seriously, the food porn in these books is next level. Jackie Lau appears to subscribe to the idea … Continue reading The Professor Next Door by Jackie Lau

RedHeadedGirl’s Historical Kitchen: Lords and Ladles

It’s been too damn hot to cook, so I thought I would give you my thoughts on something you can do, sitting in the air conditioning, drinking a cool beverage of your choice. A few weeks ago, I discovered a new show on Netflix, and it was clearly perfectly aligned to my interests that I have to assume that Raidió Teilifís Éireann and Mind the Gap Films created a show just for me.

Sarah: This year, as we’re preparing to move next month and are therefore going through the strange holding pattern that is showing a house, I’m not cooking Thanksgiving. But we’re not traveling or going … Continue reading Pie, Stuffing, Cookies, and More: What Are You Cooking?

The Bollywood Bride by Sonali Dev

The Bollywood Bride

The Bollywood Bride is Sonali Dev’s second novel. We were crazy about her first novel, A Bollywood Affair . The Bollywood Bride is more ambitious in emotional scope and much darker. It has the same joyful celebration of Indian and Indian-American culture that made Bollywood Affair so much fun – there’s a lot of food, extended family, and shopping for saris and sherwanis. Overall, though, the book works less well as a romance than it does as an … Continue reading The Bollywood Bride by Sonali Dev

Delicious by Sherry Thomas

Delicious

So a friend of mine on Twitter read Season for Scandal upon my recommendation and FLIPPED OUT (well, for her she flipped out) and put it on her “Wow” shelf on GoodReads. I, being a nosy sort, wanted to know what else was on that shelf, and happily seeing it didn’t require me to remember my GR password (seriously I have no idea what it is), I had a look. Anyway, one of the eight books on … Continue reading Delicious by Sherry Thomas
