DAWN DRZAL
reviews & Blurbs
"Evocative... Drzal traces the delicate emotions packed into a scene with the precision of a miniaturist. She is particularly skilled at conveying the quality of pleasure taken in the face of loss... [and has] a knack for metaphors so perfect as to seem inevitable." —New York Times Book Review https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/01/books/review/bread-knife-dawn-drzal.html
“Dawn Drzal may not be a household name, though that could soon change. Her new food memoir...checks all the right boxes: It offers great storytelling, memorable foods and essential life lessons imparted from the kitchen."—Portland Press Herald https://www.pressherald.com/2018/09/05/in-a-new-culinary-memoir-dawn-drzal-offers-great-storytelling-memorable-foods-and-life-lessons/
"Leave[s] readers hungry by association, as Drzal strongly connects intimacy with eating, offering portraits of who she chooses to share meals with, recalling the influence of M.F.K. Fisher."—Library Journal

“Months of your late nights and my early mornings spent on the book as we put pen to paper and made it better with each turn was both exhilarating and cathartic for me. We laughed, we cried, we grew together in the process. I couldn’t have chosen a better partner than you for this project.”
– Sara Jane Ho, MIND YOUR MANNERS
