I learned later she gained her experience about food from both her mother, and more specifically, her mother-in-law, who was a superb cook. I spent many hours watching my mother prepare the meal and stood next to her as the cooking progressed. My father became the star chef, being the parent who cooked for guests following his family tradition and his quest for the achievement of perfection in cooking. So, for me, my memories are stirred by the realisation that my parents instilled in me a deep respect for food, and a profound interest in taste and flavour.

For an Aussie equivalent, with less literary style, but more familiar situations, try Linda Cockburn's "Living the Good Life". I read Kingsolver’s book last year and loved it.
