Cooking and Screaming
Author(s): Adrienne Kane
Adrienne Kane always loved food—from waiting by the oven for the sweet, crisp cookies she baked with her mother to fueling hours of work on her senior thesis with a satisfying tagliatelle. But just two weeks before her college graduation, Adrienne suffered a stroke that left her paralyzed on the entire right side of her body. Once a dancer and aspiring teacher, she was now dependent on her loved ones, embarrassed by her disability, and facing an identity crisis. The next several years were a blur of doctors, therapists, rehabilitation, and frustration. Until she got back in the kitchen..
It began with a stir, then progressed until she eventually learned to wield a chef’s knife with her left hand, and to brace vegetables with her right. Soon food became not only her sustenance and her solace, it became Adrienne’s calling. Through hard work, and a healthy portion of courage, she turned her culinary love into a career as a caterer, food writer, photographer, and recipe developer. .
Filled with tempting recipes and hard-won lessons, Cooking and Screaming is Adrienne’s heartfelt story of food, loss, work, and joy...and finding her identity through the most unlikely combination of ingredients..
