Books I've read: The recipe club

I've just finished this latest book, based on a recommendation from Rachel Ray's magazine. The Recipe Club: A Tale of Food and Friendship wasn't much of a read. Half recipes and half letters spanning 20 or so year. It's hard to imagine these characters were from that time. Especially with the recipes. Although the recipes seemed mouthwatering, I have to admit even Julie and Julia was more of an interesting read. (And I was disappointed in that book because of hype)
