This week's pre-publication "can't-wait-to-read" selection is:
The School of Essential Ingredients
By Erica Bauermeister
Publication Date: January 22
From Publishers Weekly:
"In this remarkable debut, Bauermeister creates a captivating world where the pleasures and particulars of sophisticated food come to mean much more than simple epicurean indulgence. Respected chef and restaurateur Lillian has spent much of her 30-something years in the kitchen, looking for meaning and satisfaction in evocative, delicious combinations of ingredients. Endeavoring to instill that love and know-how in others, Lillian holds a season of Monday evening cooking classes in her restaurant. The novel takes up the story of each of her students, navigating readers through the personal dramas, memories and musings stirred up as the characters handle, slice, chop, blend, smell and taste. Delivering memorable story lines and characters while seducing the senses, Bauermeister's tale of food and hope is certain to satisfy."
As a foodie, I'm definitely intrigued. I love it when the two things I love, reading and cooking, come together.

It reminds me of how anticipation builds in our daily lives, much like waiting for a new game release. Speaking of excitement, have you tried the slope unblocked game? It's a fun way to pass the time while we enjoy our weekly reads. I'm curious to see how the themes in The School of Essential Ingredients can be reflected in gaming culture. What do you all think?
