Indulge
About This Book
At 60, Valerie Bertinelli decided she had had enough. She stopped fighting the scale, stopped counting calories, and stopped sorting foods into good and bad. She began saying yes more often and learned to enjoy simply being alive, starting in the kitchen. In short, she learned to indulge, and this cookbook shares how. The book gathers 100 recipes meant to nourish both body and soul. They are the dishes she cooks for friends and family, including a Garlic Confit BLT, Oven "Fried" Okra, Sausage and Olive Cheese Bites, Spaghetti al Limone, Salmon Burgers with Quick-Pickled Vegetables, Filet Mignon with Béarnaise Sauce, and Chocolate Peanut Butter Dates. Indulgence, she shows, can take many forms. It might be splurging on fresh produce at the farmer's market, cooking an extravagant steak dinner for one, or setting up an ice cream sundae bar at a dinner party. Between the recipes are warm, personal essays about savoring moments big and small. Bertinelli, an actress and Food Network host, offers the book as a permission slip to enjoy food and, more importantly, to enjoy life.
