Now in trade paperback, A Homemade Life is a memoir composed of recipes and stories from acclaimed blogger, Molly Wizenberg. Molly's fresh and modern recipes--sometimes decedent, sometimes healthful-- appeal to the growing number of people tired of the processed foods who have become passionate about the art of cooking and the joy of eating meals lovingly prepared with the best ingredients. But the book's appeal comes as much from the recipes as its truly remarkable writing. Wizenberg's food descriptions are luscious: Double Chocolate Cupcakes with Ricotta, Bourbon, and Orange Zest will always sound enticing, but when Molly describes how "the soft dairy richness of the fresh cheese gains depth from dark chocolate, and the chocolate's sincere, not-too-sweetness borrows intrigue from the boozy ricotta" you can't help but head straight to the kitchen to make them yourself. And unlike some excellent food-bloggers, Molly writes elegant but accessible prose that goes beyond the gustatory to access emotion. Her writing is poignant without feeling cloying or obvious, and her novelist's sense for pacing keeps you turning pages.

A lot of people whom Ive cooked for often use to tell me that my food is so good why havent I written a book of all the Delicious Recipes I came up with. So that got me to thinking why not, Ill give it a shot. I said to myself why not come up with a cookbook so plain and simple to read and understand that a 5th Grader can become an expert in the kitchen. I even went as far to as to list the Ingredients first with the exact amount to use follow by the Directions that are so precise, it takes the room of error out of making any mistakes. Not only that, I said why not put different types of recipes everyone can enjoy in this book rather than just have a plain one like you see in stores and on stands. In addition I included different techniques of Kitchen Ideas one can use in the kitchen to help them along the way which I use even today that really works. To take it a step further, Ive added as a bonus things Worth Remembering around the house that we all use which can be an inexpensive way of cleaning your home with the fraction of cost from supplies you already have. I can tell you this, if I had a book like this around years ago loaded with all the goodies inside at my disposal, there would have been even more people at my windows and doors begging to see, smell and taste what was coming from my kitchen.
