Book Review: Love & Saffron: A Novel of Friendship, Food, and Love by kim Fay

Love & Saffron: A Novel of Friendship, Food, and Love Love & Saffron: A Novel of Friendship, Food, and Love by Kim Fay
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This charming epistolary book revolves around "friendship, food, and love." Set in the 1960s, a young woman living in Los Angeles writes a letter of admiration to a journalist living in Seattle. This starts a years-long very close friendship between the two women, focusing primarily on recipes, ethnic food, ingredients, and taste sensations. It is a very quick read and a wonderful escape from reality.
