Out of the Frying Pan: A Chef's Memoir of Hot Kitchens, Single Motherhood, and the Family Meal
reviewed on + 347 more book reviews


This one's a sort of memoir-in-two-parts: culinary career and life-as-a-single-parent. Ordinarily, that's a tricky balancing act to pull off, but Clark succeeds in doing so. I don't know the woman personally, but she comes across as a highly motivated, really nice person. As a special bonus, she throws in several interesting, approachable recipes, with (relatively) simple ingredients. Highly recommended.
