Unceremoniously thrown into the workforce after a lifetime of playing the dutiful wife and mother, Alexandra Silvers takes on a new role: that of a cooking instructor. As a staff member of the enormously successful School of Culinary Arts, Alex gets more than she bargained for. From students pilfering cutlery to a supervisor whose shriek can only be heard by the neighborhood dogs, it can be said that everything is going relatively well--although not smoothly. Hungry to satisfy the emptiness of her broken marriage and yearning to feel desired, she agrees to be the face of a new cooking show--and to spend time with the school's handsome CEO, Ted Hudson. As Alexandra the Grate, she is forced to find her footing as a new woman in a new world. Determined to emerge from a difficult but exciting year as a woman of accomplishment, she embraces each challenge. For Alexandra expects--and receives--a life that sizzles in and out of the kitchen.

Some of the stories in this charming collection will make you smile and even laugh outloud; others will touch on sweet memories. You'll meet characters like Cousin Soupmeat and enjoy an encounter with a movie star in Rome. Each story is unique, as are the recipes included with a few of them, but in various ways they all exhibit the author's humor, wit, and insight into subtleties of human character and the value of social connections.
