You might have noticed that February seems lacking in number of recipes completed, but I’m still proud of what I achieved. Sometimes life gets in the way of goals (best laid plays and all)!

Even though I didn’t get to 10 recipes last month, I’m determined to keep my resolution going. And this month’s book reflects that resolve.

My Kitchen Year recounts a chef’s transitional journey overcoming odds and finding comfort in food and cooking. Ruth Reichl was the Editor-In-Chief at Gourmet Magazine, and this book recounts the year following the magazine’s last issue. Her writing is beautiful and reads like a novel with recipes rather than a true cookbook.

I’m so excited to dig into the prose and comfort food, and hopefully as I get back into the groove, I’ll hit my 10 recipe count before the month ends.
