Heartbake: A Bittersweet Memoir by Charlotte Ree
This book was absolutely deliciously raw and filled with love and honesty.
Charlotte Ree weaves a fascinating biographical tale of her life, loves and heartbreak set amongst Sydney’s lockdown in 2021. Upon leaving her troubled marriage, Ree sets out on a journey of re-invention and of recipe making. Lucky friends, neighbours and lovers eat the fruits of her labours and the reader salivates while being transported to interesting and personal anecdotes of Rees.
Her book Heartbake is nourishing for the soul, complete with recipes of her most famous meals. Her vodka pasta, shared via her social media- was cooked by many with great enthusiasm amongst Covid restrictions, is featured as just one of them.
This book encapsulated what it means to fall in love and to have that love ripped away from you as suddenly as it came. As the reader, I found myself heavily invested in Ree’s love life and desperately wanted her to end up with a man she nicknames “The Ginger”.
A wonderful and nourishing book, highly recommend it for anyone who loves to self soothe with food.
