This is the second of Danielle Ofri's books. Her first, Singular Intimacies, is about becoming a physician, her training at Bellevue Hospital and the lessons she learned from her patients and the process. This book continues with her lessons learned as a physicians both in New York and traveling the U.S. The stories are very moving and intriguing. I hope that her compassion is welcomed by her patients. She is a gift to the medical profession. I especially appreciated her descriptions about delivering her child and the challenge of navigating the health care system, with the understanding of what her patients undergo every day. Well done.

I love this book. I have several copies. I used to read her column in the NY Times in the 80's. Anna Quindlen speaks to all of us like a friend. She talks about career, family, friendship, motherhood, politics, religion, love. Having lived in New York City for many years, I related strongly to some of her warm and wonderful essays. And raising toddlers, an essay or two a night is about all I can read these days!

A wonderful story. I grew up going to B. Altman's and sewing, and loved the lead character's desire to be herself in the face of a strong italian family from Greenwich Village. A must read for anyone who loves fashion and New York City and the characters of Andriana Trigiani.

Wendy Wasserstein was one of my favorites - The Heidi Chronicles defined my younger years. This collection of essays gives some insight into Wendy's life in NYC in her 40s, her work to bring students to the theater, her attempt at hiring a cook/trainer, her family, her many years of fertility treatments before giving birth to Lucy Jane. Funny in part, moving in part.

Some good common sense techniques, like listening well, hearing people out, showing empathy, becoming a student of selling, learning about your clients' needs, painting inviting "word pictures." Good questions and suggestions throughout.

As a Jewish family in a primarily non-Jewish, non-urban community, we can completely relate to the narrator's experience. The family in the book both embraces their own religious life and yet honors the religious practices of their neighbors by bringing Christmas to those who are ill. A beautiful book about acceptance, diversity, tolerance, love, and being a light in the world. This book is a favorite.

This is one of my favorite books. It is a story about an artist who becomes a pastry chef in New York, and about relationships, and, perhaps most importantly, about how a woman recognizes the power of her Jewish culture through her family recipes, many of which are included in the book. Warm, engaging, and a real eye-opener for anyone who ever wondered about what happens in the kitchens of fine restaurants.
