Chef-owner Stocker is short, loud and profane, a passionate sensualist and a bully--yet despite his manifest flaws, brilliantly clean and delectable flavors emerge from his greasy restaurant kitchen. His unassailable self-confidence falters when he falls in love with Angela, a half-Vietnamese woman as strong-willed as himself. The stories of others intertwine in the narrative: motherly waitress Crystal; Megan, an insecure young actor trying to find her footing in New York; pastry chef, Jon, whose finicky, meticulous work habits drive Stocker wild, and Keith, Jon's patient, kindly lover. The novel tells a story about food, love, and a small, hot restaurant kitchen at the heart of one of the world's great cities.

Following her breast cancer diagnosis, Juliet Wittman is suddenly thrown into the world of the ill. Given little time to consider options, she must make decisions about her treatment that will have far-reaching consequences. Should she have a mastectomy or a lumpectomy? Should she travel to another city for better medical care? With unnerving candor, Juliet describes her treatment from surgery through chemotherapy and radiation. She goes beyond her own experience, bringing the voices of other patients, doctors and nurses into the book. Although she's frustrated by numerous theories on the "cancer personality," she also explores, with healthy skepticism, alternative approaches from Chinese herbal medicine to massage and visualization.
