Kitchen yarns : notes on life, love, and food
(Book)

"From her Italian American childhood through singlehood, raising and feeding a growing family, divorce, and a new marriage to food writer Michael Ruhlman, Ann Hood has long appreciated the power of a good meal. Growing up, she tasted love in her grandmother?s tomato sauce and dreamed of her mother?s special-occasion Fancy Lady Sandwiches. Later, the kitchen became the heart of Hood?s own home. She cooked pork roast to warm her first apartment, used two cups of dried basil for her first attempt at making pesto, taught her children how to make their favorite potatoes, found hope in her daughter?s omelet after a divorce, and fell in love again?with both her husband and his foolproof chicken stock."--Amazon.com.
