    I used to make desserts, I liked to make pies. And dump cake, which is nutritional nightmare but scrumptious.

    Red Moon by Kim Stanley Robinson.
    Science fiction about a settlement on the moon (and Earth politics) set 50 years from now. I'm about 1/2 way through and thoroughly enjoying it.
