"Celebrates a life devoted to food, with chapters on how to cook a meal for several hundred people, how to prepare a gourmet dinner with eggplant in your bathtub, and how to make the best fried chicken in the world." -- Santa Fe New Mexican "The joy of reading Colwin's food writing is that she is doing much more than teaching you how to function in front of a stove.... Her brusque kitchen style is really a sly way of urging you to trust the strength of your convictions." -- The New Yorker "As much memoir as cookbook and as much about eating as cooking." -- The New York Times Book Review "Everything food writing should be: funny, profound, inspiring and unaffected." --Nigella Lawson "The one true kitchen friend." -- The Washington Post "Laurie Colwin's food thoughts are like phone calls from a dear friend." --The New York Times "A delightful tribute to food, friends and kitchen memories.... This charmer is as irresistible as homemade shortbread." -- San Diego Union-Tribune "A very funny book. Funny enough to make you giggle out loud." -- Newsday "[Laurie Colwin] is a home cook, like you and me, whose charm and lack of pretension make her wonderfully human and a welcome companion." -- Chicago Tribune "I decided to lean back and trust Ms. Colwin when she revealed that 'I am never on a diet regime I cannot be talked out of.'" --Ann Banks, The New York Times Book Review "Delightful. . . . [Colwin] is funny, and for some reason funny stories about food are as funny as things can get." -- St. Petersburg Times "Cozy, unpretentious good sense ... characterizes all her food writing." -- The New York Times "I have in my kitchen a book called Home Cooking. And, in between following the recipes for Extremely Easy Beef Stew, or Estelle Colwin Snellenberg's Potato Pancakes, I would frequently sit down on a little stool in my kitchen and read through one of the essays in that book. I never read through The Joy of Cooking, and I can read the Silver Palate Cookbook standing up, but I always sat down to read these." --Anna Quindlen "Laurie Colwin is both sensible and sensitive when writing about food, and [her] prose makes me laugh, cry and feel hungry all at the same time." -- The Baltimore Sun "Reading the essays of Laurie Colwin is a bit like eating comfort food: warm, familiar and good for the soul." -- Hartford Courant "A warm, personal remembrance of the foods Colwin ate as a child and later served to friends and family." -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer "[Colwin] is a beacon of hope. For beginning cooks, Home Cooking is a grand consciousness and/or confidence-raiser." -- The Oregonian "Like a classic dish, [Colwin's] writing is magic in its simplicity." -- Charlotte Observer "Wry and funny." -- Dallas Morning News "Charming and humorous." -- USA Today "Enthralling, but all too short. The only thing to do [is] reread it. And then turn to her novels." -- Buffalo News, "As much memoir as cookbook and as much about eating as cooking." -- The New York Times Book Review "The one true kitchen friend." -- The Washington Post "Celebrates a life devoted to food, with chapters on how to cook a meal for several hundred people, how to prepare a gourmet dinner with eggplant in your bathtub, and how to make the best fried chicken in the world." -- Santa Fe New Mexican   "Laurie Colwin's food thoughts are like phone calls from a dear friend." --The New York Times   "A delightful tribute to food, friends and kitchen memories....
