In a quaint English market town in the 1980s, Pauline Parry finds herself a divorced mother of two small children. A chance encounter leads her to a new life, one that begins in the most unlikely of places - a flat above a restaurant. There, she soon realizes her true calling as a culinary explorer, ready to embrace a passion for food that will guide her for life.
But cooking isn't the only passion that Pauline discovers. As her professional rise takes her from Michelin-starred castle restaurants to California's famed Napa Valley, she's joined on the journey by Dennis, a handsome craftsman and confirmed bachelor - that is, until he meets Pauline.
My Culinary Love Story charts Dennis and Pauline's journey through fabulous restaurants, beautiful destinations and delectable culinary experiences. At every stage, Pauline's story is peppered with mouth-watering recipes capturing meaningful moments as she grows as a woman, mother, chef and wife.
Pauline's irrepressible love of life, food and fun will lead her to start Good Gracious! Events in Los Angeles, one of the nation's premier catering firms, with a wall filled with awards for innovative cuisine and presentation. In My Culinary Love Story, she shares her romance, her wisdom and her infectious determination to savor whatever adventure comes next in a beautifully illustrated memoir and cookbook.
"My Culinary Love Story is a charming look at Pauline Parry's formative years in the hospitality industry, and the people who helped shape the catering powerhouse she is today. Intriguing and approachable recipes paired with lovely watercolor depictions at the end of each chapter make this a book you will enjoy for the story, but return to often for the UK-meets-California culinary inspiration." Kathleen Stoehr, Director of Content Strategy, Catersource + The Special Event; "In this enchanting look back on Ms. Parry's illustrious career in hospitality, we get a window into how it all began. Family, food, and fun is the drive of this passionate professional, and her ability to go with the flow and undauntingly try new things is inspirational! The classic recipes will leave you itching for the kitchen! It's a food fairy tale filled with the best salve: love." Jennie Cook, Chef, Author, Entrepreneur
