Billie Breslin was an easy character to fall in love with and root for and the eccentric characters of Delicious! were just fantastically entertaining! Billie gets a job as an assistant (which was fun to read as that is my job title) to the editor of the magazine Delicious, but she is extremely overqualified as she has taste buds that defy all odds and has a past in the culinary industry.

Delicious! is the first fiction attempt by longtime food writer Ruth Reichl. It is the story of Billie who is looking to make her way in New York City and who finds herself traveling the history of World War II on the home front through a young girl's letters. If you are a foodie looking for a light, entertaining, feel good read, this is the book for you. A delicious beach read for the upcoming summer season.

Interesting story, particularly if you or a friend are Italian, like New York and cooking.
