ππ₯ Men-Who-Read Book Club – December Meetup Recap! π₯π
This month, we dove into Heat by Bill Buford, a culinary biography packed with kitchen adventures π and chef drama π³. While it’s a bestseller and Bufordβs writing has its moments, we found it a bit… slow-cooking. π€·ββοΈ Some intriguing tidbits? Absolutely. Gripping overall? Not quite.
Got strong opinions on books (and food)? π· Join the conversation and read along with us! Find all the details about our club at www.MenWhoRead.Club. Weβd love to have you at our next meetup! πβ¨
