BON APPETEMPT A Coming-of-Age Story (with Recipes!)

Author Amelia Morris portrays herself to perfection as she reveals her growing pains and how she found an outlet for life's rough spots through cooking. Morris recounts her childhood experiences with a steady and sometimes understated narration that make her observations all the funnier. As her story progresses, Morris's performance becomes livelier as she reacts more vigorously to life's stressful and mortifying moments and discovers the need to assert herself as an adult. The tastiest parts are revealed when Morris recites recipes and talks about food. Here, her delivery takes on a resonance that conveys her appreciation for food and the process of cooking it as well as the fulfillment she gains from both.
