Chocolate…
Peppermint…
Cinnamon and Sugar…
The smells of childhood memories and summer romances…
Memories flood through taste buds. Sweet and savory aromas awaken passion. Lillian uses her Monday night cooking class to stir up love, friendship and delicious treats. In her debut novel, The School of Essential Ingredients, Erica Bauermeister portrays how the lives of eight people are brought together through food. Lillian, the chef, who creates unique but exceptional flavor combinations, uses her class to help an older couple remember their passion, a young mother remember who she is and more. This original work is riddled with delicious recipes and individual anecdotes.
For her first novel, Erica Bauermeister is already a success. She gained insight into the art of food appreciation through her two years in Italy.
Praise for The School of Essential Ingredients
“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.”
