Food & fame, family & friends, f*ckups & forgiveness. Good story of overcoming past mistakes, recovery from addiction, and the ins & outs of the kitchen and becoming a chef. Audio is very enjoyable.

The story (30-something bookworm loses loving husband to cancer; he arranges for her to receive books, one each month, for a year after he dies with the goal/hope of helping her move on from the loss.) is well told and filled with kind characters. What I most appreciate is the way it deals with loss, grief and recovery. It is also full of shoutouts to other books and authors.
