This is written by the creator of the blog called Orangette. She started the blog and then got a book deal out of it. She also met her husband because he sent her a note after reading her blog.This is how the book is put together: an essay about some aspect of the author's life (growing up, how she dropped out of graduate school, how she met her husband) followed by a recipe that is associated with that story.
This book is beautiful. The writing is lovely. The recipes are surprisingly accessible. I've baked the French-Style Yogurt Cake with Lemon several times now and it's been met with rave reviews.
The only slightly annoying part is that once Wizenberg starts writing about her then-boyfriend (now husband), it is very clear that they are in the Wow stage of their relationship and that everything is perfect.
Other than that, I really really liked this book. So much that I bought ten copies to give to friends.
