About book The Gastronomy Of Marriage: A Memoir Of Food And Love (2009)
This was enjoyable, if a bit twee at times. I enjoyed reading about the cooking ups and downs of another young couple, particularly another veg/carnivore pair, and the author seemed refreshingly honest about what she ate. That said, there was a lot of angst about the upcoming marriage. They seemed like a nice couple but I got a little worried about how much she seemed to question the enormity of the decision. Every family has its own unique culture, full of eccentrics, oddballs, and longstanding traditions. Maisto tells her personal story of trying to create her own family rituals with her fiancé, Rich. Maisto is from an Italian family and Rich grew up in a Chinese family. The melding of their cuisine preferences is featured in the book along with several recipes. But Maisto’s memoir was really more, for me, about the alchemy of Michelle and Rich’s relationship.I would highly recommend this book for all couples, but particularly for the newly engaged.
