Title: Messy, disastrous, and wonderful
Review: Delightful! Powell has a natural, anecdotal voice that draws you into her chaotic life. She's even able to present her impulsive decision to cook all of the recipes from Julia Childs' "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" as a sort of valiant last stand against the increasing mediocrity of her life. Powell lays out the ensuing year of culinary obsessiveness in all of its messy detail. This is a great read if you're at all interested in Molly Ivans-style wit or the down-to-the-wire suspense of an episode of Iron Chef.
