“She'd wanted to be a chef that little girls could look up to--- a role model. Empowering other women was where she wanted to be, because she'd never seen a woman with the career she now had when she was coming up in the industry.

Nina could just as easily pull up the smell of her mother blending flour and rosemary in the mixer as she could breathe.”
