This is a wonderful book.--Elizabeth Gilbert author of City of Girls Big Magic and Eat Pray LovePhyllis Grant's Everything Is Under Control is a memoir about appetite--as it comes goes and refocuses its object of desire. With sparse affecting prose and an unsparing eye toward her and her environment's darkest corners Grant's story follows the sometimes smooth sometimes jagged always revealing contours of her life: from her days as a dancer struggling to find her place at Juilliard to her experiences in and out of four-star kitchens in New York City to falling in love with her future husband and leaving the city after 9/11 for California where her children are born. All the while a sense of longing roils in each stage as she moves through the headspace of a young woman longing to be sustained by a city to a mother now sustaining a family herself.Written with the raw transparency of a diaristEverything Is Under Control is an unputdownable series of vignettes followed by tried-and-true recipes from Grant's table--a heartrending yet unsentimental portrait of the highs and lows of young adulthood motherhood and a life in the kitchen.(less)
