More Pats & Pans on Comfort Food from BDL patrons

Do you recommend the book Comfort Food by Kate Jacobs?

Yes.  Eric says "A delightful read regarding a TV food hostess who faces getting older and feeling threatened by a young bimbo hired to co-host."

No.  Marilyn says "Score 2 out of 5 stars.  Almost stopped reading this 'chick' book of little substance.  It's a book guys would not read.  Felt it was written for the purpose of going to movie format."

Neither Yes nor No.  Mary says "It is a very current book in regards to so many TV shows on food.  I enjoyed getting the book from the library rather than buying it, because I doubt I would ever refer to the book again.  I found it a 'light' read."

Yes.  Pat says "Good book but I preferred [Kate Jacob's] Friday Night Knitting Club more."

Yes.  Suzanne says "I loved Comfort Food.  It made me look up my mother's old recipes."
