A Table by the Window

A Table by the Window, a novel by Hillary Manton Lodge

What a delightful book!  Juliette D’Alisa is a food writer who has grown up in a family of restaurateurs.  Her parents owned a restaurant and being in the business is just a part of who she is.  Her time in culinary school let her know that being in a kitchen of a restaurant that was not staffed by family was something she didn’t want to do.  Her expertise in the business was running the ‘front’ of the house. 

As she embarks on a project with her brother, she is also exploring an online relationship with a man on the other side of the country.  It is a wonderful story of finding one’s self and exploring possibilities.  One of the best parts of the book is recipes dotted throughout.  I can hardly wait to try some!    

This is a fantastic book that I highly recommend.  Pick it up today!
