Listen to It Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time: My Adventures in Life and Food by Moira Hodgson
Enjoy this audiobook with MP3 Audiobook Player - the ultimate iOS audiobook experience
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.

It's all about convenience with this app. It was fine. The narrator did an adequate job but nothing about the performance particularly stood out to me. Got me through my commute though.
Accessing literary treasures has never been this straightforward – thank you, app! The narrator was good but spoke a bit too slowly for my taste. I had to speed it up to 1.2x which then made some parts sound slightly unnatural.
I've found my new favorite way to relax – cuddled up with an audiobook. I've become a more empathetic listener and reader, thanks to the power of audiobooks.
