I was not aware of her--missed her cooking show completely--but a friend of mine who grew up in the same part of Minnesota as she did loaned me this memoir and I loved it. If follows her and her artist husband from the Midwest to NYC and back, as she works in some of the best fine dining kitchens in New York, then rediscovers her rural roots. A delicious story. I can't recommend it enoughhttps://www.amazon.com/product-reviews/0307954900
