A book critic friend of mine’s husband’s parents live in Boulder, and they have all these great intellectual boomer friends who make art but don’t have to make money. Or so it seems. I may be wrong... Anyway, one of them is Barbara Shark. This is like Home Cooking by Laurie Colwin, but no one has ever heard of it. I think it’s out of print because it wasn’t ever really in print. I don’t even cook, for the record.
No screens just vibes
I like to play ambient tunes and not look at a single screen while I cook a feast for like two hours it feels so good after a long day
I made albondigas from the Rick martinez cookbook and rice from the Enrique Olvera cookbook and both were rly good btw
I haven’t devoured a book like I did with this one in so long. So engaging, digestible, poetic … if you’re in a reading slump this will help get you out
