“Hot sex, looking good, scoring journalistic triumphs . . . nothing
made Alyssa love herself enough until she learned to cook. There's
a racy plot and a surprising moral in this intimate and delicious
book.”
—GAEL GREENE, creator of Insatiable-Critic.com and author of
Insatiable: Tales from a Life of Delicious Excess
“I loved this book. It’s partly a cautionary tale about getting
involved with young career-driven men and a love story about a
woman and the city she loves and leaves and loves again. And
finally, it’s about good friends, a loving family, and the
importance and good fortune Alyssa has for having both. Oh, and
there’s a great recipe for mac and cheese.”
—JOHN DELUCIE, chef/proprietor The Lion, Crown restaurants, and
author of The Hunger: A Memoir of an Accidental Chef
“Part memoir, part cookbook, Alyssa’s writing is honest, witty, and
disarming—a compelling journey of a girl becoming her own woman.
Though she experiences love and loss, she finds her sweetest days
where she least expects it—within herself in the kitchen. With
that, Alyssa encourages even the most kitchen phobic to turn on the
oven.”
—DANYELLE FREEMAN, founder of RestaurantGirl.com and author of
Try This: Traveling the Globe Without Leaving the Table
“Shelasky's memoir is a zesty read about dating, family, and
self-discovery.”
–ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
"Amusing, compassionate story of love among the pots and pans."
—KIRKUS REVIEWS
“Shelasky’s energetic memoir looks at her experiences as celebrity
journalist turned food blogger and the relationships that sparked
her passion for cooking… Shelasky is candid about her misadventures
and, in a charming touch, includes related recipes at the close of
each chapter.”
