This is amazing, the book and the essay!

I loved this article. I bought this book in Healdsburg CA. I mainly bought it because of her artwork. I fell in love with it, and the simple family recipes was very appealing to me also.

Enjoyed this so much. It reminded me of Maira Kalman’s beautiful books.

Thank you for your kind words. Coincidentally, Maira Kalman is one of the essay contributors in the published book. There are definitely stylistic similarities in their work.

I used to drive around the city stopping at every Half Price Books. Found a lot of cookbook gems that way. What spots do you go searching?

Kaboom usually! HPB is a good call though.

Houston Recs:

Brothers Taco House - best breakfast tacos in the city

Blacksmith - great coffee, but the real move is a hot biscuit with jam

El Tiempo Cantina - fajita heaven

Fluff Bake Bar - get the Veruca Salt cake cup, and a dozen Couch Potato cookies for the road.

Riel - if you need a dessert spot after dinner, get the sticky toffee pudding here.
