Ottavia is the daughter of a renowned Roman chef. Watching her father from childhood, she dreams of making a name for herself in the culinary arts, a traditionally feminine craft that has been dominated by men for centuries. Bold and determined, she pursues her goal, perfecting her craft, experiencing the power of passion and the bitterness of separation. Years pass, and Ottavia is the owner of a successful restaurant, a wife, and a mother. Her dream has come true, but suddenly the past comes back to haunt her.

Julia Kerninon tells the story of a strong woman in search of herself. Her novel is a frank conversation about relationships, family, purpose, and, of course, the magic of haute cuisine, which becomes her passion, meaning, and salvation. The author immerses us in the atmosphere of Italy, where food is art, and art is life itself. Ottavia's dishes, like the pages of her life, are full of hope, often despair, but always love.
