Read this the first time in the 1990s, and it hit me much the same as Laurie Colwin's Home Cooking did-- as if a very humble and wise and human soul was telling me stories of their life in food (and not in restaurants). Have read it again a couple of times, most recently right now! (2026) and still love it.
