Couldn't get more than a few chapters in before the constant name-dropping and brand pushing got old. I think I'm being overly generous giving this book a three but I will concede that Shelasky has an easy, readable style. What made me dislike this book was Shelasky herself...she's a self-absorbed, ego maniac, with a nasty mouth. Her recipes at the end of each chapter were basic cooking 101, but I will give her props for having a skill for making her cooking sound like Top Chef quality. It makes me like Chef and his terrific burgers and shakes even more than I did before! I'm not really sure what I was expecting from this book.I think I was looking for something deeper. However, it was an ok read and would probably be a good summer beach read. The writing the flowed smoothly with a light-hearted beat. However, I often found myself wondering why I should care about the story. Perhaps if I had known who the author and her fiancee were before reading the book, I might have made a connection with the story. If I had not agreed to review the book, I might not moved it to my Did Not Finish shelf. What I liked about the book: It was light, easy read. The author also shares many of the recipes she talks about. What I didn't like about the book: The story has a rather spoiled and shallow ring to it. I guess it's really wasn't my cup of tea. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
"Apron Anxiety is the hilarious and heartfelt memoir of quintessential city girl Alyssa Shelasky and her crazy, complicated love affair with...the kitchen. Three months after dating her TV-chef crush, celebrity journalist Alyssa Shelasky left her highly social life in New York City to live with him in D.C. But what followed was no fairy tale: Chef hours are tough on a relationship. Surrounded by foodies yet unable to make a cup of tea, she was displaced and discouraged. Motivated at first by self-preservation rather than culinary passion, Shelasky embarked on a journey to master the kitchen, and she created the blog Apron Anxiety (ApronAnxiety.com) to share her stories. This is a memoir (with recipes) about learning to cook, the ups and downs of love, and entering the world of food full throttle. Readers will delight in her infectious voice as she dishes on everything from the sexy chef scene to the unexpected inner calm of tying on an apron"-- Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
