Description

The compulsively readable memoir of a woman at war—with herself, along with her body, and with food—at the same time as working her way throughout the underbelly of New York City’s glamorous culinary scene.

Hannah Howard is a Columbia University freshman when she lands a hostess job at Picholine, a Michelin-starred restaurant in Manhattan. Eighteen years old and eager to be told, she’s invigorated by the manic energy and knife-sharp focal point of the crew. By day Hannah explores the Columbia arts scene, struggling to seek out her place. By night she’s intoxicated by boxes of heady truffles and intrigued by the food industry’s insiders. She’s hungry for knowledge, success, and love, but she’s also ravenous because she hasn’t eaten more than yogurt and coffee in days.

Hannah is hiding an eating disorder. The excruciatingly overdue nights, demanding chefs, bad boyfriends, and destructive obsessions have left a void inside her that she will’t fill. To reconcile her relationships with the food she worships and a body she struggles to just accept, Hannah’s going to have to learn how to nourish her soul.
