Cooking in Heels: A Memoir Cookbook

In Cooking in Heels, Ceyenne Doroshow offers up 40 Southern-style favorites with a Caribbean twist. Though the flavors in her recipes are robust, the list of ingredients isn't, in recognition of the fact that the longer the list of ingredients, the higher the barriers to cooking at home. As a transgender woman who was inspired to write her book while serving prison time for a prostitution conviction, Ceyenne might not seem like the most likely representative of home cooked family values. But her book, which is peppered with good humor and begins with the story of her life, shows that food and love are the ties that bind, and family is what you make it.
