Review
Cookbooks serve a variety of functions, sometimes the least of which is to instruct us in the kitchen. Amy Scholder's Cooking with Honey: What Literary Lesbians Eat is filled with great recipes, but its real worth and pleasure are the smart, witty, and delicious essays that accompany each entree. Lesbian writers from Dorothy Allison to Jewelle Gomez, Kate Bornstein to Alison Bechdel, tell us how to make gumbo, chili, pasta, and brownies. But the more immediate tastiness here is perusing the chatty, personal, and informative sidebars to their food tips. The joy of cooking comes not only from what ends up on the plate, but the love and care that go into it.
Review
Cookin' With Honey: What Literary Lesbians Eat is a unique cookbook as much about the personal lives of the contributors as it is a collection of well-loved recipes and opinions on matters of food. Along with delicious recipes like "Piggly-Wiggly Brownies", "Play-Cards-All-Night Chili", and "Jacqueline De Angelis' Rosemary Bread", there are dark family secrets, food fetishes and phobias, recipes for big parties, intimate dates, and one-pot meals for one. Cookin' With Honey is an unconventional culinary collection of masterpiece recipes. -- Midwest Book Review
