I received an advanced reading copy of this book and was looking for something to read. It sounded interesting. Of course, the publishing letters included in the first pages made it sound absolutely wonderful. Eva is an orphaned Midwestern girl with an amazing palate who grows up to become the mysterious chef behind an incredibly popular and extravagant pop-up restuarant. Each chapter focuses on an ingredient and the perosn who introduced it to her, with all ingredients, and some of the people, combining in the final chapter at a moving and cathartic feast in the wilds of South Dakota.
I liked Eva, I did not however get attached to her. In the beginning of the book she was a baby and she was in her thirties by the end of the book. It was amazing the way J. Ryan Stradal wove food into the book from the very beginning and all the way til the end. I would recommend this as a light, fast paced read.
