Wizenberg has a real talent for curating recipes. She has such a keen eye for foods that are both unexpected and accessible--by which I mean that her recipes include unusual gems, little known versions of classics, and quirky twists, but at the same time they are relatable and easy enough to appeal to the average home cook (like myself). I am also impressed by her commitment to the recipes: she clearly has tested every recipe many times, making sure the directions are precise, and she goes out of her way to explain procedures and steps that a cook needs to take to make the recipe work. I appreciate it, because such steps are not often obvious (not to those of us who are mere amateurs, I guess). I just finished reading the book and I'm dying to make at least ten different things in there. However, the book disappointed me on one count--the literary. Although Wizenberg is an entertaining writer, funny, candid, and relatable, the short texts that precede each recipe read more like annotations than a book proper (even though this is a memoir with a clear progression of events and a sequential flow). This is not a bad thing per se, especially if what you want is something akin to the blog experience (and she really is an outstanding blogger). However, I prefer more "traditional" food literature, such as Ruth Reichl, M.F.K. Fisher and James Beard--that is, literature about food, and not annotated recipes. So I didn't find her book as gripping or evocative as those by these authors. Still, I laughed, cried, and salivated plenty, and I guess that's already a lot you can say about a cookbook.
I found the beginning of A Homemade Life tough to get into. I thought it started pretty slow, and the personal accounts were very brief, giving a high-level synopsis about a memory from her life and finishing with a complimentary recipe. As the book progressed, her stories continued to be brief but they shared more of Molly's emotions and comprehensive aspects of her life outside of just the food. For example, we learned about some of her dating experiences and courtship with her now husband. Hearing about these aspects of her life gave me a better understanding of who she was, which made me more interested in what she was cooking and how it made her feel. As I got about a third of the way in, I could not put the book down. Plus, the recipes all sounded amazing, and I cannot wait to try them!
I adore this book! Molly is open and honest about her life, linking food to family, friends and events. Recipes range from simple to complex, and involve real food. I've already made the banana bread with crystalized ginger and chocolate chips, and stewed prunes with cinnamon and citrus are cooking as I write this. I'd have to agree that Molly is an old soul. The narrative is engaging and heartfelt, funny, heart-wrenching , and revealing. Highly recommend!
Normally I don't blog-style cookbooks as they are too chatty and all that chat gets in the way of recipes. If you are serious, or a bit short on time, long-winded chatty cookbooks get in the way of cooking. The book A Homemade Life is an exception. Author Molly Wizenberg pulls off writing a blog-style cookbook with aplomb. Her writing will pull you in as you want to learn about her family: Her mother who was petite and was raised in a perfectly sized house with a flagstone sidewalk; her father who made the best French Toast or her gay Uncle Jerry who once took Molly to a knick-knack store called the the Sweet Potato. You will also learn about how her family dealt with close deaths of relatives and how food played such an important part of their lives. In between the family history you will find recipes. Lots of good sounding recipes. Recipes family-tested and the kind you would want to serve at your family table. Some of the recipes you will find in her cookbook include: Burg's Potato Salad Friesse with Ham, Eggs, and Mustard Vinaigrette Coeur a La Creme with Raspberry Puree (thank you for this recipe as I still love white chocolate) Hoosier Pie Recommend.

Most days, I maintain a good balance of creating, nurturing, working and cleaning. But then a book like "A Homemade Life" arrives in the mail and from the first page, all that balance goes out the window and I'm stuck on the couch, completely consumed by Molly Wizenberg's moving stories and delectable recipes. Wizenberg relates so beautifully how food unites us as a culture through her own personal experiences: the death of her father, her decision to forego a career in academia to become a food writer and a blossoming romance with a hansome foodie. Hers is a tale of love and nurturing by way of the kitchen. With a knack for storytelling and an incredible talent for creating beautiful, homespun recipes that beg to be shared with loved ones, "A Homemade Life" (and Wizenberg's hugely successful blog, [...]), have lifted me out of my own cooking slump, a gentle reminder in increasingly complicated times that good food is worth the time to make and sharing it with friends and family is one of life's greatest pleasures. I've tried three recipes in 24 hours and it is no exaggeration to say that our little family of three feels transformed. Highly recommended.

Life, love , death and redemption through cake
What a marvellous book , full of joy of life but also the pain and how food can help through the dark days . Unlike other food memoirs Molly isn't smug nor does she cook ridiculous over the top French food for every day nor does she live a life of glamour [ cooking for Mr Latte although fun falls down with all these ] . She is equally prepared to make soup as much as a fancy cake . Plus her husband Brandon is a veggie ! [sometimes americans get sniffy over the v word. Molly can actually write so that when she describes the difficult days of being an only child , a red head and struggling to find the man of her dreams you can really believe her words . A beautiful treat .

A little too sweet!
I could not wait to get this book as I am a massive fan of books about food, travel and cooking and food memoirs are right at the top of my list. Also all of the reviews I've seen have raved about this book and the writer herself. Don't get me wrong the recipes are lovely and she writes beautifully, you can literally taste the food and also feel like you are experiencing moments in her life with her. However it was all wrapped up a little too neatly for me and I even started to get annoyed with a recipe at the end of every chapter, as it didn't always need it and started to feel a little contrived. Finally the remainder of the book after she met her Husband Brandon was just too schmaltzy for me, as every chapter was raving about how amazing he was, we get it he's wonderful and the love of your live, relax, no need to labour the point! I guess when it comes down to it less is more sometimes, in both cooking and writing. So for my tastes it was a little too sweet. Hopefully her next book will be a little more balanced, as like I said she is a very talented and you can't help but wish her well.

real life ,real food
My friend had seen this book in a shop and liked the look of it but didn't have time to buy. On a visit to me we ordered a lot of books and had them delivered to me so I had the chance to read it. It was a delight ,filled with stories about family life and relationships , and receipe which related to loved ones ,places and memories. I really enjoyed this book and have made most of the receipe as well. An unexpected treat and one to pass on to loved ones particularly those who like to cook

M for Molly, Memoir and mmmmm-food - Marvellous
I stumbled across this book here on amazon and I hesitated for a long time before finally getting it from the library. I think it was the title that put me off for so long. But I guess it goes for titles as for covers - don't judge. Because this is an absolutely wonderful memoir and cookbook. It's not that Molly has led an extraordinary life but the way she portraits her family and friends is just so compelling and I think that most people will be able to relate to many of the experiences she writes about. The chapter about how she lost her father was very touching and written in such a delicate way that it left me in tears. Other stories made me laugh but all of them left me with the desire to cook. The little stories are great appetisers for the recipes and I've tried several of them so far but especially love the pickled grapes with cinnamon and plack pepper and the banana bread with chocolate and crystallized ginger. After getting it from the library I started to write some of the recipes down but I soon realised that I would have to copy most of the book, so I ended up buying it instead. A very good decision!

At first, it wasn't clear where this epiphany might lead. Like her long letters home describing the details of every meal and market, Molly's blog Orangette started out merely as a pleasant pastime. But it wasn't long before her writing and recipes developed an international following. Every week, devoted readers logged on to find out what Molly was cooking, eating, reading, and thinking, and it seemed she had finally found her passion. But the story wasn't over: one reader in particular, a curly-haired, food-loving composer from New York, found himself enchanted by the redhead in Seattle, and their email correspondence blossomed into a long-distance romance.
In A Homemade Life: Stories and Recipes from My Kitchen Table , Molly Wizenberg recounts a life with the kitchen at its center. From her mother's pound cake, a staple of summer picnics during her childhood in Oklahoma, to the eggs she cooked for her father during the weeks before his death, food and memories are intimately entwined. You won't be able to decide whether to curl up and sink into the story or to head straight to the market to fill your basket with ingredients for Cider-Glazed Salmon and Pistachio Cake with Honeyed Apricots.

A Conversation with Author Molly Wizenberg
Q: Can you tell us a bit about your life since publishing A Homemade Life ? Have there been any special projects, meals, or recipes? Does Seattle still feel like home for both you and Brandon? A: It's been busy around here, to say the least! In August of 2009, Brandon and I opened a restaurant. It's called Delancey, and it's in the Ballard neighborhood of Seattle. It's a Brooklynstyle wood-fired pizzeria, inspired by all the great pies that Brandon grew up eating in New York and New Jersey. A restaurant is probably the last thing that anyone expected of us, given that Brandon is a musician by training, and that I've written quite a bit about how much I dislike (!) working in a restaurant kitchen, but what can you do? He makes a killer pizza. I'm so proud of him. Q: Do you still enjoy writing your blog, Orangette? Has it changed since you began it in 2004? A: I love writing for the blog. Probably more than ever, actually. The blog is where I can be the most spontaneous in my writing, where I can really play. It's also an incredible community. I'm continually blown away by the conversations that crop up in comments, by the people that I've met, by the way it has completely reshaped my life over the past six years. It sounds cheesy, but I mean every word. Q: At your book events or through your blog, do readers ever share their own food stories with you? Does one of these stand out in particular? A: Absolutely. Talking with readers and hearing their stories has been my favorite part of book events. When I write, I feel as though I'm having a conversation with my readers--only, the thing is, I never actually get to see their faces or hear their voices. Book events give me that chance, and I'm so grateful for it. The fact that food gives us a common ground to meet on, that it gives us something to share--that's what it's all about. Now I'm really sounding cheesy. Q: Does Paris continue to be a special place for you? Have you been back since the publication of your book? A: Paris will always be a special place for me. I haven't been back since the book came out--this year was so busy!--but Brandon and I are hoping to steal away for a trip sometime in 2010. I miss it. Q: List three items that are in your refrigerator right now, and what significance they have for you. A: Peanut butter--it's not glamorous, but I could eat it every day. I'm pretty sure my body is at least 75 percent peanut butter. Maple syrup--this particular jug of syrup was given to me by one of my readers. It came from her trees in upstate New York, and it's fantastic. I don't think there could possibly be a better present than maple syrup from your very own trees. Apples from the farmers' market--one of the best parts of living in Washington! There's one stand in particular that has lots of heirloom apples, and they have the best names. Right now, I've got a couple of Black Twigs, one Gold Rush, and a couple of Waltanas. Q: In A Homemade Life you write about both of your parents, but there seem to be more stories about your father and his outsized personality. Is there a reason for this? A: I needed to write about my father. There were so many details and moments and stories that made up who he was to me, and I didn't want to forget. I needed to write about him to assure myself that I would remember. But I also needed to write about him so that I could start to let go of some of the harder moments of his illness and his death. In putting them down on paper, I got to take them out of my head and store them somewhere else. I didn't know it until I was deep into the book, but I still had a lot of grieving to do, and writing helped me to do it. Q: Has your relationship with your mother changed in the years since the death of your father? A: We were always close, and we still are. But we've become more intentional about spending time together. It's not easy, since we live far apart, but every year, the two of us go away together, just for a few days, and do lots of eating and drinking and catching up. Q: From potato salad to Christmas cookies to Hoosier Pie, in the book you describe many recipes that are traditions in your family. Have you and Brandon created any new traditional recipes? A: We 're still pretty fixated on Hoosier Pie, to tell you the truth! Old traditions die hard--or however the saying goes. But we're making new ones, too. Slowly but surely I've taken to making the same chocolate layer cake for our birthdays every year, and I get irrationally excited about it. I'm still working on the frosting, though. Maybe this will be my lucky year. Q: What is your opinion of the slow food movement in this country? Do you believe it is on the rise? How do you think the current economy has or will affect it? A: Anything that encourages people to eat more real food and less processed food, to find pleasure in cooking and sharing food, is a great thing. Q: What are you working on now? Do you have plans to write another book? A: Well, I'm into my third year of writing a monthly column for Bon Appétit and my sixth year at Orangette, both of which keep me busy! I'm also the de facto manager / wineglass polisher / baseboard scrubber / errand runner / CFO of Delancey, and that keeps me even busier. (Or crazier, depending on your point of view.) But I do want to write another book, and getting a start on that is my goal for 2010. Fingers crossed.
