A young law student ponders his future and food claiming that discovering his inner foodie helped save him.
After admitting he is ill-suited to a career in law, Adam Roberts has an epiphany about life.
The result is this book and his food blog of the same name. He shares his journey and encourages others to embrace their hunger for life as well as food.
Along the way he consults some big names in food writing but overall his musings seem, well I'm sorry to say, rather amateur.
I did not like this as much as the author's first book which featured the same protagonist. It seemed like there were too many voices and I would put it down when the voice changed to a character I found less interesting. I really thought I would love this as I had the author's first book, Love Walked In. The main character was just so cool, hip, urban, young, artsy, smart and kind. Here she settles down, moves to the suburbs and starts a family. She is just as likable, just not as interesting. While there was a plot twist that you don't really see coming, it did not have as much of an impact as the same technique did in the first novel. If you've read Love Walked In this is worth taking a look at but as a stand alone I'd pass it up.
