"Stanley Park" by Timothy Taylor

I read this Canadian book because Eva recommended/loved it. I must admit I didn't like it too much, except for the ending, which emphasized the book theme of simplicity and honesty in cooking/cheffing. I found it to be a bit too abstract/airfairy in parts, and I didn't really get to like any of the characters. I don't think I would like this writer as a person. I'm betting he's a shade pretentious. Eva seems to like books that deal with food and cooking. She called this guy one of the best writers in Canada. Maybe she has met him, since she supports Canadian authors.
