To come through abuse and bullying with such strength is so admirable. She's a beautiful and phenomenal woman. As a collector of cookbooks, very rarely do I get the chance to ever see reviews on a cookbook, so I was really pleased to see that you could do this. Your review, of course, is fab, just likeROhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07417463444013920901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5128730358349082407.post-69037386838799204182015-09-12T23:04:27.255-05:002015-09-12T23:04:27.255-05:00I love Cat Cora and certainly want to read this bo...I love Cat Cora and certainly want to read this book! I used to watch Food Network avidly, but not recently. My watching was connected to television I watched with my ex. I should start watching it again. I think I have seen every episode of the old Japanese Iron Chef, but I think I only watched two seasons of the American version. Wow, now that I am thinking about it...
