In the Recipe Box
by Viola Shipman Sam doesn't really know what's she's doing with her life. She
left her small town in Michigan for culinary school in the Big Apple.
She's always enjoyed baking it seems to be in her blood. She
has recipe's and her own recipe box handed down to her when she
turned 13 from her mother and grandmother.
The main purpose of the novel and focus of the novel is the
recipe box and recipes. As well as the family orchard and
Sam's baking. I enjoyed the dual timelines in the
box. While the main story takes place in the present focusing on Sam and
her journey. The novel does going back in time so to speak and includes the
stories of Sam relatives when they were younger.
While I didn't love the book I did enjoy the story and the
lessons that can be gleamed from the book. I do plan to read something
else from Viola Shipman in the future.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher through
netgalley. I was not required to write a positive review. All opinions
expressed are mine alone.
