Book 19: The School of Essential Ingredients

The School of Essential Ingredients by Erica Bauermeister is February's book club pick for Lindsey's book club. I don't really know much about this book, but this is what I gather from the cover description. This is the story of a cooking class that meets once a month on Monday nights. The lives of the people in the class begin to intertwine outside of the kitchen. This book has been compared to Like Water for Chocolate which I liked, so I hope it is similar.
