All about: Cooking With The Seasons: A Year In My Kitchen

By Monique Jamet Hooker and Tracie Richardson

This very personal culinary narrative cookbook is meant to help you learn to prepare meals using fresh, seasonal ingredients grown in your geographical area, whatever your level of expertise in the kitchen. It is also meant to entertain the casual reader with the experiences I shared with nine brothers and sisters while growing up on my family's 17th century chateau farm in France.

Over 200 recipes are included in the book, all inspired by the dishes and techniques I grew up with in Europe. At the same time the recipes are uniquely American because they call for a wide range of ingredients easily available to us here in the United States. The recipes are seasonally based month by month to encourage cooks to learn about and use foods grown regionally. A convenient, easy to read harvest chart individually detailing the peak times for fresh produce in five growing regions of the United States is included. Following this chart makes understanding local growing seasons easy, and helps you understand when foods shipped from different parts of the country to their neighborhood market are at their flavorful best. The recipes I've created are beautiful to look at and simple to prepare, using basic cooking techniques. They play on seasonal characteristics of taste, texture and color, and are meant to spark the imagination and encourage your own creativity in the kitchen.

Cooking With The Seasons: A Year In My Kitchen is also the story of how families can enjoy the seasonal market by celebrations at the table. Taking that little extra moment to share, whether it's during a large holiday dinner or at a picnic enjoying the best of summer's bounty, is what binds us together. There are many ways of gathering around food. Let me show you how by telling of my childhood in Brittany through stories and recipes that celebrate the best food America has to offer each season. My family's daily life may seem to speak with the voice of another era, but it is only the echo of the joy I continue to find through sharing meals today. By bringing the seasons into the kitchen I know you, too, will soon find your own joy inviting family and friends to the table.

Deeply human, yet visionary
Format: Kindle
This book takes a thoughtful approach to the notion of loneliness in the faces of AI and the many robotic companions already in development or on the market.

Compelling story, beautifully written
Format: Kindle
Loneliness & Company was a fantastic read. In a truly novel take and an incredibly fun read, Charlee Dyroff confronts both the growing endemic of loneliness and the looming threat of AI, pushing us subtly to think deeply and thoughtfully about the implications of both. More than that though, Loneliness & Company is beautifully written, populated by great characters and is driven forward with a compelling, narrative. Its the first book in a very long while that I couldn't wait to get back to. Definitely would give this my strongest recommendation.

This is a smart book, an interesting book but it was hard for me to read as the style was more technical/detached than i like. It worked for the story but not for the kind of reader I am. It is worth the read though despite this 3.5

Very creative and engaging
Format: Hardcover
Kinda blown away that this is a first novel! In a not-so-distant future, the protagonist Lee is a recent grad of an elite Program where she has dedicated her life to achievement. She's disappointed to be sent to a no-name company and assigned to a mysterious project. Learning she must gather data to help AI become more human, it's sadly funny as the only way she knows to gather data is by going online. I really loved the book's portrayal of the future, in which NYC is a dead city and the Midwest is where all the action is. The future portrayed here is just a tad more digitized than our current time. Instead of cooking people order food and it is delivered instantly (not just meals, but like if you want a cookie it's delivered instantly), purchase clothing by tapping the glass display windows at empty stores, and eat at restaurants by tapping on screens and having food shot out at them by machines. When Lee discovers a "primitive" restaurant that is actually staffed by humans and has menus, she is drawn to the place over and over again and starts to discover the magic of real life interaction. Lee, who is socially awkward to the point of agony, gradually becomes comfortable interacting with humans IRL. It's touching and funny as she navigates things like friendship, getting drinks or coffee and even dating. But the book takes a dark turn as Lee's drive for perfection and her assignment to "experience life" for the AI spin out of control. This book started off reminding me of "The Factory" by Hiroko Amayada and turned into shades of "The Rosie Project". Touching and truly original, well worth reading!
