For October’s Free Choice genre challenge, Librarian Matt read “Hello, Home Cooking ” by Ham El-Waylly.

Here’s his review:
In the first few pages, Ham El-Waylly's “Hello, Home Cooking” invites you to a Brazilian hot dog party, complete with snappy smoked 'dogs and an exciting array of toppings (pickled peppers and mashed potatoes, anyone?). If hot dogs aren't your thing, I promise you'll find something else. Craving papaya salad, but can't find papaya? Try the cabbage, apple, and fish sauce slaw. Maybe you just ate, and you'd rather sink your teeth into a retelling of Mick Foley and The Undertaker's legendary cage match? It's got that, too. Trust me—give this a try, and you'll find something you like. Grab a plate, pull up a chair, and dig in.

Interested in learning more about this book? Check it out at your local Fresno County library branch!
