8.10.2016 - The City Baker's Guide to Country Living

The City Baker's Guide to Country Living by Louise  Miller

Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and author for the opportunity to read this book.

This is a great, curl up in your chair, kind of book. Olivia is a pastry chef (warning - definitely a food porn book and you will be hungry til the end!) who had a disastrous ending to her job in Boston. Looking to get away from it all, she goes to Vermont to visit her best friend, Hannah, who sets up an interview for her at an inn. The job comes along with a place to stay in a small sugar cabin, where she moves in with her big dog, Salty.

There's lots of music, small town charm, love, friendship, and what family really means. Plus there is so much baking in this book! I really just want to live in this Vermont town and have Livvy bake for me - but the second best thing is that the much-loved apple pie recipe is at the back of the book! I can't wait to try it this fall.

Definitely a great read - and a wonderful debut work!
