Summary

"Marinating in an unconventional and aromatic blend of formats, Hayden traces the nuances of her complicated relationship to food. Anecdotal comics alternate with wryly ironic "recipes," peppered withoven fires, explosions, prayers, and incantations. Along the way, all the salty judgments and bitter frustrations just might caramelizeinto some real wisdom and self-acceptance. In any case, it's all hand-painted in mouth-watering color as a tribute to Hayden's love of cookbooks...or at least of the illustrations inside them."--Providedby publisher.
