Review by KT Sullivan
Molly
and her husband, Brandon Pettit, met over the Internet, but not through a matchmaking site. She writes the food blog, Orangette, and he sent her an e-mail.
Thus began their journey to opening a pizza restaurant.
Owning a restaurant is
about raising money, finding the perfect location, an excellent staff,
establishing a relationship with customers and food delivery men, and yes the
perfect pizza. So many restaurants go out of business because of the failing of
one of the above or all five. Their adventures and missteps are funny and do
give pause. The hours they work are insane and the restaurant is never far from
their thoughts. Working with a spouse has advantages and disadvantages,
especially when this is a husband’s dream job. They both bring a love of food
and many ideas to their venture. Plus there are recipes at the end of almost
all the chapters.
I
enjoyed the book and Molly's blog, Orangette, is fascinating. The food made and
reviewed looks delicious. It is Molly’s passion and she writes with so much
heart about food and family. I can see why Brandon would want to meet her. I’m
not a good cook, but enjoy food. I plan to attempt the recipe for My Kate’s
Brownies. Life is short, eat dessert first. After reading the book and blog, I
was really hungry. Please eat well before you start the book.
