Grant's story follows the sometimes smooth, sometimes jagged, always revealing contours of her life: from her days as a dancer struggling to find her place at Julliard, to her experiences in and out of four-star kitchens in New York City, to falling in love with her future husband and leaving the city after 9\/11 for California, where her children are born. All the while, a sense of longing pulses in each stage as she moves through the headspace of a young woman longing to be sustained by a city into that of a mother now sustaining a family herself. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWritten with the transparency of a diarist, \u003ci\u003eEverything Is Under Control\u003c\/i\u003e is an unputdownable series of vignettes followed by tried-and-true recipes from Grant's table--a heartrending yet unsentimental portrait of the highs and lows of young adulthood, motherhood, and a life in the kitchen.","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51433953657055,"sku":"9781250787361","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/Se4NMTSFzw9781250787361.webp?v=1790021059","url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/products\/everything-is-under-control-a-memoir-with-recipes-paperback","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
