The Lost Art of Mixing Audiobook

" I asolutely loved The Lost Art of Mixing. A number of people are drawn together by way of Lillian's restaurant. Entering into the mix are all kinds of love. There is lost love, betrayed love, new love. Each character has his or her own story, and each is captivating. Highly recommend. I read this is a sequel to The School of Essential Ingredients. I have not read this yet, but I'm now searching for it! "

" Insubstantial, light and relatively enjoyable. Wish there was more cooking! And what became of Chloe's notebook? Hmmm. "

" It's hard to be second. There's so many expectations left from the first. Unfortunately, this second novel about Lillian and her restaurant did not live up to the first. Bauermesister changed the novel's format and she took away cooking school. This led to the loss of her wonderful food imagery. Don't get me wrong, it was great to catch up with some old, familiar characters and be introduced to new ones. I just missed the excitement of the cooking classes and the interaction of the characters. This was a TV diner, when I was expecting gourmet. "

" A book can earn 5 stars in so many ways. This book is not epic or profound, nor does it aim to educate. But it was thoroughly enjoyable, especially on these two gray, foggy days. Every bit as good as her previous book, The School of Essential Ingredients (which needs to be read prior to this one). "

" I loved the School of Essential Ingredients and think I would have enjoyed this one more if I had read them closer together. I can't really pinpoint why... "

" Her writing is lyrical and her stories are so sweet. "

" Short, sweet, and essentially quite bland. A very quick, easy read that was pleasant enough but didn't excite or inspire me. I remember enjoying The School of Essential Ingredients more, and picked up this sequel expecting it to be a little more engaging than it was. Not bad but not her best. "

" This author has a talent for developing a multitude of characters in a very short span of words and pages. I gobbled up both The Lost Art and Essential Ingredients in one sitting each. What a treat. "

" Disappointed in this one. It was very slow and the characters were rather dull. "

" Great sequel to The School of Essential Ingredients. "

" As one reviewer so wisely put it - a perfect recipe for express life's stresses - Lillian's kitchen filled with food, family and wonderful stories. "

" if you like a story with a lot of description ,this book is for you.I really enjoyed it. "

" I like this author. She is very descriptive. Sometimes a bit much and not very believable but quite enjoyable. All of her books have characters that reappear in each story. I wish I could cook like the main character. "

" I really liked this book. I love how the author writes several little short stories to show the relationship between characters. "

" Review to come closer to pub date. "

" It was good but I didn't care for it as much as the first book. This book didn't much deal with the kitchen at all but it had some good character development. "

" My review will be published at New York Journal of Books on pub date "

" Just ok. Some parts better than others but overall, meh. "

" I really enjoyed this book. The way the author explained numbers to an CPA, was fascinating. "

" This is a quiet, beautifully written book about community, family, friends and the essence of food and cooking. "
