I'm not usually a lover of non-fiction. But I definitely loved Spiced. Now, to be fair, I love baking and cooking and all things associated with it. So, I was probably a little bit biased in favor of "Spiced" to begin with.

It was really fun for me to read about how a woman wanting to be a chef became a pastry chef, and all the trials that come along with a life in the kitchen. There were definitely aspects of that life that I never though of before.

The story was well told and engaging. It wasn't over the top or far-fetched. I really enjoyed reading it. You should read it to if you enjoy spending any amount of time in the kitchen.
