Book Description

The daughter of a British Foreign Service officer, Moira Hodgson spent her childhood in many a strange and exotic land. She discovered American food in Saigon, ate wild boar in Berlin, and learned how to prepare potatoes from her eccentric Irish grandmother. Today, Hodgson has a well-deserved reputation as a discerning critic whose columns in the New York Observer were devoured by dedicated food lovers for two decades. A delightful memoir of meals from around the world—complete with recipes—It Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time reflects Hodgson’s talent for connecting her love of food and travel with the people and places in her life. Whether she’s dining on Moroccan mechoui, a whole lamb baked for a day over coals, or struggling to entertain in a tiny Greenwich Village apartment, her reminiscences are always a treat.

🧘‍♂️ Finding serenity through the soothing tones of audiobooks – mindfulness and stories in perfect harmony. 🧘‍♂️🎧 Efficiency and ease combined – this app is a must-have for book lovers. ListenBook's drag-and-drop download feature simplifies the process of adding new audiobooks to my collection. The interface is beautiful and functional. ListenBook is my go-to app for audiobooks. A decent listen overall. The narration was clear, though some character voices sounded similar. The story was interesting but had moments where it dragged slightly. Still, it was a good way to pass the time.

The 'Discover' section is a treasure trove for finding hidden literary gems. I can't get enough of this app – it's like having a personal library with me. A serviceable audiobook that met basic expectations. The narration was clear if somewhat unremarkable, and the production quality was standard without any noticeable technical issues. It kept me moderately engaged during workouts but didn't leave a lasting impression.
