Some Favorite Books This Week!
I’ve been having a tough time keeping up with both the reading AND posting here. While I get it all sorted out, I thought I could at least post the reviews here to Amazon, so you can read them there!
By the way, the first book on the top line above is my own book, published in April to help restaurant’s through the pandemic. Know any restaurateurs, restaurant managers, or head chefs? Let them know about the book! It could save their business!
Note: I am listing reviews as I do them each day. Sometimes, Amazon takes days or even a week or more to approve these reviews, so you will see a lag between when I list reviews and when a link is available. The longest I had to wait was 3.5 weeks!
Hope that life becomes a little more sane soon!
