Host Dan Johnson speaks with Erica Bauermeister about her new book "The Lost Art of Mixing," a sequel to "The School of Essential Ingredients." In the novel Lillian and her restaurant draw people together. Characters include Al, the accountant who finds meaning in numbers and ritual; Chloe, a budding chef who hasn't learned to trust after heartbreak; Finnegan, quiet and steady as a tree, who can disappear into the background despite his massive height; Louise, Al's wife, whose anger simmers just below the boiling point; and Isabelle, whose memories are slowly slipping from her grasp. And there's Lillian herself, whose life has taken a turn she didn't expect. Erica Bauermeister is also the author of the novel "Joy For Beginners."
