About this title: Food writer Colette Rossant writes about her early life, beginning with her irresponsible mother and her difficult grandmother, who raised her, and including her delighted introduction to French cooking when she was taken to France to live shortly after World War II. As the years went by, Rossant found that the wonders of the food more than made up for the horrors of adolescence. A New York Times Notable Book for 2003.
