Synopsis
A delicious memoir from the author of The Sharper Your Knife, The Less You Cry A family history interwoven with recipes, Burnt Toast Makes You Sing Good returns readers to the mix of food and memoir beloved by readers of her bestselling The Sharper Your Knife, The Less You Cry . Burnt Toast Makes You Sing Good explores the very beginnings of Flinn’s love affair with food and its connection to home. It is the story of her Midwestern childhood, its memorable home cooks, and the delicious recipes she grew up with. Flinn shares tales of her parents’ pizza parlor in San Francisco, where they sold Uncle Clarence’s popular oven-fried chicken, as well as recipes for the vats of chili made by her former Army cook Grandpa Charles, fluffy Swedish pancakes from Grandma Inez and cinnamon rolls for birthday breakfasts. Through these flavors, Flinn came to understand how meals can be memories, and how cooking can be a form of communication. Brimming with warmth and wit, this book is sure to appeal to Flinn’s many fans as well as readers of Marcus Samuelsson, Luisa Weiss, and Julie Powell.
