This is a good book for folks who are interested in the history of sciences, and who are willing + wanting to really take a deep dive into the subject.

No, this is not The New Vegeterian Cooking for Everyone, the updated version produced by the same author just a few years ago. It’s the original version, with all the quirks and “outdated” dishes that made this book so popular in the late 1990’s.

Some of my fondest memories involve Dublin Dr Pepper. There was one particular BBQ joint in my grandparent’s small town that made the best brisket and potato salad, perfectly accompanied by a little glass bottle of the good stuff.

I was super excited to get a chance to read this new title from the author of The Girl of Fire & Thorns, which I liked very much.

In my opinion, the way it is being marketed is ever-so-slightly deceptive. This is not really a book about why more men than women manage to have successful careers in science. It’s one person’s extra-long lament about their disappointing experiences in college.
