Books may not be everyone's 'anti-anxiety elixir of choice,' but our critic says this trio of new books can transport you to a happier place 📚
In a series of short, spare, food-centric bulletins written in the present tense, Grant captures the passions of her life, from the rigorous intensity of her early ambitions to her more manageable present, in which we meet her baking tarte tatin with her kids, Dash and Bella.
Grant's first bout of anorexia hit at 11 and lasted a year. In ballet school, after being body-shamed, she learns the tricks of the trade."Bulimia is much harder to cover up. It's loud and messy. But you get to eat more. Anorexia is clean and requires control," she writes, and then adds,"I choose anorexia." It doesn't improve her prospects.
She realizes,"I want my hair to smell like chocolate and garlic and fish ... I want a purpose." But Plan B is no cakewalk either."Six months in and I have experienced the obscenely long hours and witnessed the fire hazards, rampant drug use, and misogynistic everything," she writes of her culinary on-the-job training, but adds,"I still want this more than ever." Her new bosses call her Felicia.
Grant nimbly pirouettes, pivots, leaps. She becomes a cookbook editor, a yoga instructor, a certified doula, a smitten mom who blogs about cooking with and for her kids, a bold, talented memoirist. Such flexibility is not a bad lesson for right now.
