'What a beautiful, rich, poetic memoir this is. Phyllis writes of
longing, suffering, family, and food with such delicate power. Like
the best chefs, she knows how to make a masterpiece from a few
simple ingredients: truth, poignancy, and love. A wonderful book.'
Elizabeth Gilbert, author of 10 million copy bestseller Eat, Pray,
Love Bake. I bake for others. Belgian waffles, French toast,
crepes, chocolate chip cookies. When I cook, I am calm, I am
confident. There is comfort in the logic. Chef and award-winning
writer Phyllis Grant's life has been defined by food. First, as a
dancer struggling to find her place at Julliard, when banana
muffins with inch-thick streusel are the fuel for another day of
training. Then, a lowly junior chef in high-pressure NYC four-star
kitchens, as she masters the tarte Tatin and ice cream custard.
Falling in love with her future husband and the garlicky tomato
sauce he makes in his bare apartment. The quesadillas she can't
stop eating in LA before she realises she's pregnant. These are the
recipes that have accompanied Phyllis throughout the smooth and
jagged stages of her life as she navigates the highs and lows of
young adulthood, being a mother, and a career in the kitchen.
Written with the transparency of a diarist and including
tried-and-true recipes from her chef's table, Everything Is Under
Control is a raw and riveting story about food, family, love and
loss.
