"You will probably pick up this book because you're curious about how it feels to grow up with Alice Waters as your mother. But you will inevitably be captivated by Fanny Singer's sensuous voice and sensible soul. The writing's lovely, but more than that, Fanny has struck a kind of brutal honesty that is exremely rare and completely beautiful. Her writing makes you want to taste every flavor she describes, and soon you'll be dashing into the kitchen to make watercress soup, wild fennel cakes, and breakfast pudding. But the really important thing is that I'm pretty sure everyone who reads it will come away with the same feeling that I have: Why don't I live my like this? How can I do better? I love this book."
