This is not a cook-book, chef biography or some rags-to-riches story of a line cook who made it big. This is not even (gasp) a diet book. It does however have recipes galore, thereby allowing me to review it.

Mix 1 part Heartbreak, 1 part Humor, Cut in Wit & Wisdom, spice liberally with Scandal and Sarcasm, bake until warm & engaging.

A worthy read for every smart girl in hot pants, the under dog, the free-spirit who’s not afraid to rage against the societal machine, and all the princesses out there looking for their happily-ever-after. I hope to get more from this author, her personal ambition is an inspiration for us all. Dream big, and never give up.
