Squisito!

Reichl's deep love for food and her experiences seem woven into the narrative; I wonder how much of her personal journey shaped the story.

The way food is used as a metaphor for love and healing resonated with me, but I'm curious if others found it deeply personal or more symbolic.

It added so much flavor and atmosphere, but I wonder if the setting was based on real places or purely fictional. Did it enhance the emotional impact?
