I was provided a copy of What's Good? A Memoir in Fourteen Ingredients by Peter Hoffman by publisher, Abrams Press.  I received no monetary compensation for this post.  All opinions are strictly my own.

I belong to an online bookclub, led by Cam of Culinary Adventures with Camilla, called Lit Happens.  When Cam asked if any of us were interested in reading this memoir and creating a recipe found in it or inspired by it, in return for a free copy, I was all in.
