Summary: Thanks, Ms. Gamble, for the pleasure of your company
Review: Every chapter in this delightful book is a small treasure; a happy and reassuring reminder in these hectic times that life's many little pleasures are all around us, just waiting for discovery. Elizabeth Gamble's adventures, as the book's title indicates, take us across continents and oceans -- and we lucky readers are always in wonderful company, and wherever we are, never far from hearth and home. So settle in to an easy chair and enjoy a sunny and optmistic read, then head for the kitchen with family and friends, try out a couple of the wonderful recipes, and thank Ms. Gamble for inviting us all along for a perfectly lovely time.

Summary: Embraces life, love and food with abandon.
Review: This was a delightful read recounting the adventures of a lady whose exuberence and delight in everything around her lifts our spirits and gives us a new perspective on everyday experiences. Nothing escapes her keen sensitivity and she expresses it with exuberant abandon. The recipes are delicious but, one soon forgets that it is a cookbook. Or is it? The best recipe in the book is the one Ms. Gamble gives us for living life every moment.
