The Lost Art of Mixing by Erica Bauermeister (January 2013) picks up where her earlier novel, The School of Essential Ingredients (Check out my review tomorrow), left off -- revisiting with Lillian, Chloe, Isabelle, and Tom. Bauermeister also brings in some new characters as well as she leads readers on a journey of human interaction and family. In many ways, recipes still play a role here as they did in the first book, though the imagery and word choices here are less about ingredients and cooking than they are about nature and the people themselves. Isabelle plays a more integral role here than she did in the last book as a mother to grown children concerned about their new role as caregivers and to her wayward roommate, Chloe. She's also a motherly figure to Lillian when she finds herself in uncharted waters.
