Those books are lovely. I can't remember whether it is in that one or the first one that she writes about cooking at a shelter for homeless women. Her recipes are also very usable (at least, the ones I've tried are).
Her novels are about white people of a certain class and geographical location, but they do (I think) convey a sense that this is a group with its own idiosyncratic ways and quirks, rather than representing The Universal. (Does that make sense?)
