Summary
Born into poverty in southwestern France, the teenage girl develops a remarkable talent for cooking: she even dreams in recipes. Soon she's put in charge of a kitchen, and eventually opens her own restaurant. In a world where men dominate, her pursuit of love, pleasure, and gustatory delights shape her life and career, but the relationship with her own daughter may threaten everything she spent her life perfecting. Her quest is told from the perspective of her former assistant (and unrequited lover), now an aged chef himself. -- adapted from jacket
