Five Book Friday: In Memoriam
(0 comment)
Every year, the booksellers at Powell’s submit their Top Fives: their five favorite books that were released in 2023. It’s a list that, when put together, shows just how varied and interesting the book tastes of Powell’s booksellers are. I highly recommend digging into the recommendations — we would never lead you astray — but today...

A Tiger in the Kitchen: A Memoir of Food and Family

This was a delightful book. My daughter recommended it to me and she was right. I loved it! Cheryl Tan takes us on a wonderful adventure of sights, sounds, taste and smell through her family culture and cooking in Singapore. She left home to go to college in the USA and eventually came to realize she needed to do more than cook Ramen Noodles. Cheryl made a journey back home to Singapore to learn to cook her family's recipes. She found a lot more than just recipes and how to cook. She found family and connection. By the time I was part way through the book, I was longing for some good Singaporean food. An easy read and a satisfying one.

Buffalo West Wing

Another awesome book by Julie Hyzy. This is her newest in the White House Chef mysteries. I couldn't put it down! Ollie Paras is the Executive Chef at the White House. A new president and his family have just moved in. The kitchen is trying to cook to please their food tastes and interests. The Secret Service people are everywhere - even in the kitchen! I had to find out what Ollie was up to and if she would get out of this all in one piece or not. The book dripped with intrigue as well as buffalo wing sauce and a bit of romance! I just wish Julie Hyzy would write faster. I am impatiently waiting for another great book from her. Keep writing, Julie!
