The book begins with Turshen's childhood, growing up in a family where food was central to every gathering. She describes the joy of cooking with her grandmother, learning the secrets of her family's recipes. But as Turshen grows older, she experiences a series of losses that test her to her core. The death of her beloved grandmother, the end of a long-term relationship, and the loss of her job all send her spiraling into a deep depression.
