Review of A Cook's Notebook: Falling In (& out of) LoveFood writer and cook Ali Berlow muses on food and love and the ingredients in both. This is a thoughtful, commentary perfect for a ME or ATC cut-in or really any day part leading up to or on Valentines Day. The writing is nice, though she sounds as if she's reading more than musing. A station should add a music head and tail. |

He'd chosen this cozy restaurant for its fireplace and wine list and as usual, ordered for her. He always did this and she used to like not having to think. This was how it worked for the last year - and how she tasted her first foie gras - a delicacy of goose or duck liver.

Review of A Cook's Notebook: Falling In (& out of) Love
Review of A Cook's Notebook: Falling in (& out) of love is a well produced piece with great sound quality and storytelling. The piece evokes emotions and for me conjures up vivid imagery. In thinking about the piece I can hear the sounds of people talking, the sharp clinking of glasware, and the crackle of the fire.
The story is one that I can relate to and I feel it has a broad audience of people who have been on one side of the table or the other. Who han't longed to be deeply in love, to be cared for and care for another only to have the passion burn down over the course of time until it flickers out and leaves a small puff of smoke.
