For anyone who's ever done any kind of commercial cooking this book, and it's earlier version, is a MUST read.

Doubleday, 2008

Bizarre and Brilliant
When I first read the book description about Cassie Wright taking 600 men in one day, certain questions came to mind. Firstly the pleasure principle, would it build and build to an explosive crescendo by the time she reached Mr. 600. Secondly, its going to be an incredibly long day and an equally long film. would sexual ecstasy come early and if so would she become bored? Perhaps she would have ...

Stephen King

Pocket, 2002

Compelling narrative, excellent advice
Back when I began reading books on writing by established writers, I did it out of a hankering to become a creative writer. As the scales fell from my eyes and I realized that would only happen if I became the host body for a truly talented spirit, I found I still enjoyed reading writers on the theme of their craft. I've read excellent books on the topic by Anne Lamott, John Gardner, Brenda ...

On Writing Well, 30th Anniversary Edition: The Classic Guide to Writing Nonfiction (On Writing Well)149 reviews
William K. Zinsser

Collins, 2006

Very insightful.
This book is a good read and offers some solid advice. It doesn't teach writing, but rather offers tips to keep in mind while writing. I feel that some parts of the book are hypocritical, especially when Zinsser uses some tougher vocabulary, but you cannot expect a teacher, writer, and editor to write a book in "see spot run" style, which is what I'm discovering to be the basis of the negative ...

Anne Lamott

Anchor, 1995

Finally someone who tells it the way it really is!!
I am a Christian and and writer, and Anne Lamott is the best I have found out there writing on both subjects. You might not agree with something she says but if you stop, think about it, really let it sink in, she usually hits it right on the mark. Reading her book has truly inspired me and helped me to continue to write against all odds. I am going right now to download another Anne Lamott ... 		  
  







  
  
The Astonishing Power of Emotions155 reviews
Esther Hicks, Jerry Hicks

Hay House, 2007

Wonderful!
I read a not so favourable review of this book and almost didnt buy it, but I'm glad I did. It's true, the messages are all very similar in their books, but there is always "something" that stands out in each one, this one really did it for me. It also includes a free Cd of the workshop surrounding the basic thrust of the book which I listen to over and over again. I just love it. Deb

Secret Ingredients: The New Yorker Book of Food and Drink8 reviews

Random House, 2007

Seventy Years of Great Writing about Dining Out, Food, Beverages, and Dieting
In praising Secret Ingredients, I'm torn between praising the writing style or the content more highly. Both are superb. As a reading experience, you'll find your mouth watering, your mind remembering tastes and aromas you haven't experienced in years, your eyes alight with remembered scenes you've enjoyed, your mouth smiling as you enjoy great turns of phrase, and your hand writing down ...
