Like you (and Sally and Jessica), I love a good cookbook as much for the writing and storytelling as for the recipes. The Victoria sponge looks and sounds delicious! I obviously need to give it a try. Thanks for reminding us of your previous book selections. I’ve been reading so many excellent blogs lately, I’m very behind on my book reading.
I collect cookbooks (to a point) and read thoroughly front to back. I love those with lots of narrative and history. I also look forward to begin our next book! Thank you, Marg...
It's hard to have a favorite because I love to prepare so many different types of food. Here are four I like to flip through and choose a recipe after I read some of the narratives. Between Two Fires by Laura Esquivel, Cooking with Loula by Alexandra Stratou, Van Gogh's Table by Alexandra Leaf and Fred Leeman, and Savoring Mexico by Marilyn Tausend. And yes, "Simply Julia" is well done and a good time in the kitchen. Thank you, Jessica!
Similar to you, I love to read cookbooks. Love Is a Pink Cake is inspiring, I haven’t baked much from it yet...but your cake looks delicious and maybe I’ll bake that same recipe soon.

Looks like such a great roundup! And I am on hold for Remarkably Bright Creatures on Libby - if I get it in time I'd love to international book club!
Thanks for the reminder on It’s the Small Things! Had it in my list to read.
