The Sprouted Kitchen: A Tastier Take on Whole Foods

I absolutely adored this breezy, fun, intelligent, and insightful expat memoir. I started fantasizing about a trip to Paris before I'd finished the first chapter. The descriptions of food are mouthwatering and emotional, and I look forward to trying a few of the recipes. While the author doesn't mask her inevitable frustrations with living in a foreign land, her cultural insights ring true without belittling the American or French attitudes and customs she describes.
