I'll probably ask for beta-readers from this group, when it gets to that point. Don't hold your breath, I have another project ahead of it, but I'm writing chapters as I go, based on what's cooking this week. Kind of makes cooking dinner more fun! -- Heidi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far I'm no good with fiction though, much less love stories. Let's see, se could tell stories of butchering animals, boiling hooves, Africans eating fermented bugs ... -- Heidi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, I think you'd love the book.. every chapter has a recipe! You can't get that from the movie. I don't remember what happened with the dinner party.. the young girl put something in the food, I forgot what.. oh, I think it was her tears? But when the woman died of flatulence, I thought that was pretty memorable. All those beans, I guess even soaking them wasn't enough. I'm no good with fiction either. Can't concentrate on it enough, so I get lost. May be from being so used to skimming the message boards! Skimming seems to work better with non-fiction. I keep saying I should lighten up my reading with fiction, and maybe I just haven't found the right books.. anything to do with traditional cultures and especially if there's food descriptions in it! - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stories that talk about REAL food prep, or life in a real village. Kind of like Clan of the Cave Bear but more realistic. -- Heidi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
