So I did really like and I usually like more science fiction so I am glad I found a mother type of book to read. The book is good but just not enough for 5 stars

It's a story about following your dreams and also about finding what your dreams and goals really are. The writing is light and airy the recipies sound delicious and just like a hot beverage on a cold day this story will make you feel warm and fuzzy inside. Highly recommended for people who love food and also for those who believe that there is magic within each of us.🙂
