A beautifully written, delicate book on human nature.
Lillian doesn't teach your typical cooking lessons. Instead, she offers an experiential safe place for these varied students to grow, learn, and bloom under the warm rays of Lillian's attentions.
Each member of the cooking class is there for a different reason - and each has his or her own chapter. The food and the lessons carry the students' thoughts through memories and mental tangents, weaving from the past to the task at hand and then on again. Their stories unfold for the reader gradually throughout the book, much like the characters' confidence unfolds through their Monday nights in the kitchen.
I really loved this book, and will be recommending it to many readers.
