If You Can't Take the Heat: Tales of Food, Feminism, and Fury

by Geraldine DeRuiter

This is what it means to love someone. You cook for them. You help them carry the weight of their own memories.

This whole book - food, relationships, memories. If you like sass-infused memoirs, read it!

The restaurants and relationships that come into our lives are not things that exist spontaneously. They need love to keep them alive. And so I try, but do not always succeed, to tell people how I feel, to visit the cafés and restaurants I love, again and again.
