Cathy Erway

A young woman in NYC decides to conduct an experiment and doesn't eat out at restaurants for 2 years, with some minor exceptions. It is a fascinating read, even though sometimes she gives too much attention to her daily routine (do I really care about the boyfriend? Not sure). She didn't inspire me to stop spending so much money on eating out, though, and I have been trying to pay better attention to the quality of food I eat.

Most people in New York eat out all the time. I mean ALL THE TIME....this woman decides to not eat out for a year. Breakfast, lunch, dinner. If she gets a taste for something, she makes it. But it's not just cooking for herself, this is no Julie and Julia...she experiences supper clubs and freeganism. Cooking galore.

I really enjoyed this book.

Quite enjoyable. For me, it was about 50 pages too long, and could have used another edit - there were so many characters who were introduced one time and never followed up on, that it got a little confusing. Overall, though, really interesting.

This was just what I needed to get excited for CSA season! It also makes me want to join an underground supper club and enter a cook-off of some kind.
