Dear Bookclub,
Our culinary love, tantalized by Eric Ripart's "32 Yolks", was indulged at The French Market Grill with round table discussion centered on Ripart's development as a chef. No recipe shared in his memoir but a rendering of a colorful childhood tortured with a stint or two under the tutelage of an extreme chef and voilà: Master Èric Ripart! We felt another book must be in the works since so much is yet to be told. 

Hollandaise à la 32 yolks 


Personally, the gastronomical mindset set off a smattering of bold ordering: calf's liver, wine, lemon tart, a latte and cappuccinos. We were all sure to clean our plates lest someone in the kitchen would suffer punishment. Le Bernardin is calling.

Val's impressive suggestions for an upcoming read ignited the challenging choosing-debate-&-dance to decide on a worthy book for  stimulating discussion. Vows are always made to read them all anyway - haha:

"The Leavers" Lisa Ko
"Last Days of Night" Graham Moore *chosen
"Shelter" Jung Yun
"To the Bright Edge of the World" Eowyn Ivey

Up next: "Hillbilly Elegy"

Happy reading!
