“Taking solitude in stride was a sign of strength and of a willingness to take care of myself. This meant--among other things--working productively, remembering to leave the house, and eating well...Cooking for others had often been my way of offering care. So why, when I was alone, did I find myself trying to subsist on cereal and water? I'd need to learn to cook for one.”
- Jenni Ferrari-Adler, Alone in the Kitchen with an Eggplant
