REVIEW: Just a Taste by Deirdre Martin

JaneB- ReviewsContemporary / cooking / Deirdre-Martin / New-York-Blades2 Comments

Dear Ms. Martin: I read this on the heels of the Top Chef finale. While I am a decent cook, I am no chef but I love all things food related. The love of food makes this cooking oriented novel hit the right spot for me. Vivi Robitaille has come ... more >
