Mischenko | Nov 30, 2017 |    Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing.When I started the book I did not realize that his mother was such a well known cook and celebrity in the food world. While the name-dropping was a little much at times (thus my half star). At first I thought this would irritate me after my initial delight with the book, however it quickly became clear that Peter is very down to earth and appreciative of the experiences in his life thanks to his parents' and his own successes rather than taking them for granted.

Iambookish | May 2, 2017 | Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing.My Mother's Kitchen is a story about Peter Gethers and his relationship with his mother. He gives the reader an introspective look at his life growing up. It's not only full of food, but life in the kitchen, experimenting with dishes, some cameos by Wolfgang Puck, and more food. Throughout it all, Gethers' down to earth style of writing and honesty is like a breath of fresh air that I didn't know I needed. There was much to appreciate, and the connection I felt with Peter and his mom was very real. All in all, this was a story that I found myself enjoying and appreciating much more than I ever thought I would when I first started. There are some great recipes included in the book, and I hope in the final edition an index is included to list all the pages with the recipes.

Biography & Autobiography.
Cooking & Food.
Nonfiction.
HTML:A funny, moving memoir about a sonâ??s discovery that his mother has a genius for understanding the intimate connections between cooking, people and love Peter Gethers wants to give his aging mother a very personal and perhaps final gift: a spectacular feast featuring all her favorite dishes. The problem is, although he was raised to love food and wine he doesnâ??t really know how to cook. So he embarks upon an often hilarious and always touching culinary journey that will ultimately allow him to bring his motherâ??s friends and loved ones to the table one last time. The daughter of a restaurateurâ??the restaurant was New Yorkâ??s legendary Ratnerâ??sâ??Judy Gethers discovered a passion for cooking in her 50s. In time, she became a mentor and friend to several of the most famous chefs in America, including Wolfgang Puck, Nancy Silverton and Jonathan Waxman; she also wrote many cookbooks and taught cooking alongside Julia Child. In her 80s, she was robbed of her ability to cook by a debilitating stroke. But illness has brought her closer than ever to her son: Peter regularly visits her so they can share meals, and he can ask questions about her colorful past, while learning her kitchen secrets. Gradually his ambition becomes manifest: he decides to learn how to cook his mother the meal of her dreams and thereby tell the story of her life to all those who have loved her. With his trademark wit and knowing eye, Peter Gethers has written an unforgettable memoir about how food and family can do much more than feed usâ??they can nourish our souls.
