I finished The School of Essential Ingredients last night. I didn't really think this book was good or bad, it was just okay. I liked how the story was broken into separate chapters about each character. It kind of gave me a feel for why cooking and food was important to each of the characters. What I didn't really get a feel for was how it came to be a complete story. It just seemed really cheesy (no food pun intended) that all of the characters got a long so well. That rarely happens in real life. I can't imagine taking a cooking class with people and immediately becoming their best friends or life partners. Especially in such a short amount of time. I think I have finally realized that while I find the stories somewhat interesting, I'm just really not a "chic-lit" sort of gal.
