Chef Missy Robbins decided to take a break from her “day” job and rediscover life…outside the restaurant world. That year of self-discovery was compiled into this cookbook in the form of recipes – like this Roasted Pumpkin with Parmesan – and essays that will have readers falling in love with cooking again. In addition to pasta and Italian-style dishes that Missy is known for, there are her childhood favorites, a chapter on Asian recipes, plus recipes for breakfast, lunch and salads.
