Description
Care and Feeding traces Laurie Woolever's journey from a small-town childhood to working at food publications and revered restaurants in New York and around the world. In her career, she joins forces with two of the most powerful men in the culinary world: Mario Batali and Anthony Bourdain. However, there's more to this story than just the prominent names on her resume.
Behind the scenes, Laurie's life is chaotic, an often-pleasurable buffet of bad decisions at which she frequently overstays her welcome. Acerbic and wryly self-deprecating, Laurie attempts to carve out her own space as a woman in a world both toxic and intoxicating, while balancing her consuming work with a sometimes-ambivalent relationship to marriage and motherhood.
As the food world careens towards an overdue reckoning and Laurie's mentors face their own high-profile descents, she is confronted with the questions of where she belongs and how to hold on to the parts of her life's work that she truly values: care and feeding.
