At times breathtakingly painful and suffused with sadness, it's always fueled by food.'Independent‘In epigrammatic, nearly poetic diction, Grant, a ballet dancer turned pastry chef turned damn fine writer, reminds us of how transformative the junctures where food and life collide can be … [She has a] keen attention to the sublime detail and a voice as eviscerating as it is lyrical.’The New York Times‘Phyllis Grant writes sentences that send jolts through your body.
