Download Bon Appetempt: A Coming-of-Age Story (with Recipes!) AudioBook Free
When Amelia Morris saw a towering, beautiful delicious chocolate cake in Bon Appétit and got the menu home to recreate it for a Xmas day brunch she was web host, it led to a terrible (but tasty) chaos that had to be served in an oversize bowl. It was also a revelation. Both scrumptious and broken, it seemed a physical metaphor for the many curious and sudden situations she's found herself in throughout her life, from her short profession as a six-year-old wrestler to her Brady Bunch-style family (without the housekeeper and the familial harmony) to her ill-fated twenty-something job at the institution of Rock in LA. As a way to bring order to chaos and searching for a more significant lifestyle, she confirms herself more and more at home in the kitchen, where she starts to discover that even if the results of her culinary attempts fall well less than the standard placed by polished food periodicals, they can still bring satisfaction (and sustenance) to her and her relatives and buddies. Full of amusing observations about food, family, unemployment, romance, and the extremes of modern L.A., and displaying recipes as basic as Toasted Cheerios so that advanced as gâteau de crêpes, Bon Appétempt is sure to resonate with anyone who has tried and failed, and been all the better for this.
