This story of a woman who goes through life doing the only thing she really knows how to do - cook. Her French mother instills a love of food in her at an early age and when her parents divorce she rebels, but always finds herself working in a kitchen. Her descriptions of the New York catering business are eye opening and life as a camp cook are entertaining. Her family life is very confusing, but her success as the owner of a famous restaurant is admirable.

I like reading about Italy
