Stayed up all night reading it!By MSteeleThis book is so engagingly and humorously written that I stayed up all night reading it from cover to cover! Amelia Morris is courageous and open in sharing her 'struggle to enjoy the struggle' and find joy and grace in the journey. As they say, I laughed; I cried. And I have been thinking about the book's themes of grace and resilience since. Her story is a gift.6 of 7 people found the following review helpful.Great food memoir!By Emily BrasleyAmelia Morris’ food blog, Bon Appetempt, has poked fun at food culture for years: Morris, an inexperienced chef, cooks difficult recipes, photographs the results, and sets the photos side-by-side with the perfect professional ones to show how impossible it is to make your food look *that* good, even if you follow the directions exactly. Over time, of course, Morris’ cooking and photography skills have improved, and her audience has grown.The memoir Bon Appetempt is an ode to hard, quiet creative work; a gentle testament to writing as an exercise rather than a direct path to success.In the memoir, we watch the life of a modern creative person unfold in the foreground, as food sits as its undeniable backbone. Food comforts and empowers Amelia through her parents’ divorce, her weight obsession, her international travels, her cross-country move to Los Angeles, her retail jobs, her MFA application, and her longtime romance.Amelia fails often, and her struggle is pervasive. The book is peppered with a generous amount of self-doubt. Amelia worries about the kinds of things many people worry about in their twenties - making rent, building a career, creating a family, and expressing herself creatively.The richest sections in the book are the ones about cooking. Morris obviously takes great joy in describing food. The sense of anxiety in the earlier chapters seems to melt away later on, once she starts the blog. Through experimenting with recipes, she allows herself to become comfortable with failure and loosens up her own creative process.In one chapter, when she’s in a long-distance relationship and is unhappy, she makes a brie pasta that I’m still daydreaming about (and I can make it, if I want - because Morris provides recipes following every chapter, as promised in the title). In another chapter, Amelia travels to Seattle to spend a weekend preparing, cooking, and eating an elaborate meal with her best friend. Her description of scouring markets for ingredients all morning then pouring wine and simmering away the afternoon completely sold me - sign me up, I want to cook all day with my friends, too!Amelia does come of age in this story, and I was glad to get to experience her life through her writing. Morris describes her family in gritty detail, but, like the real people in our own lives, we end up loving them anyway. Morris writes with honesty, and Bon Appetempt is an admirable first work.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.I loved this bookBy MaryI loved this book!! Couldn't put it down. You will laugh and you will cry as you read about Amelia Morris's difficult childhood as well as her adulthood struggles in LA as an aspiring artist. Lots of pearls of wisdom here about accepting yourself, accepting your life as it is and not as wish it would be, and learning to love the struggles along the way. Full of Morris's quirky humor and delicious recipes!See all 30 customer reviews...
