style with simple and wonderful recipes that are full of flavour:
surprising yet comforting, and easy enough for every day.” –CBC

memoir, inspiring the reader to devour it cover to cover – it’s
clear she’s not only a cook, but a celebrated writer.” –Julie Van

and a deep expression of how she expresses love through
food." –Chatelaine
