Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview: #1 I was an only child, and my grandmother was my mother and my cook. When I was fifteen, my grandma had a heart attack, and I was confused about how to cook without a recipe. My grandma taught me, and I learned what it meant to cook without a recipe. #2 The most important lesson I learned from my grandma was how to cook. She taught me how to make pierogi, which is a Polish dish made of dough filled with cheese. I was not allowed to put on the apron until I understood what cigarettes she preferred and how she wanted her toilet bowl cleaned. #3 The difference between cooking as a science and cooking as an art is that in the first, you follow a set of rules until you get a result, while in the second, you begin with a question and trust your intuition to lead you to an answer. #4 Sex can be approached as either science or art. When we treat sex like a science, we develop very strong expectations and expect a replicable outcome every time we add water and mix. But sex is not a science, and the outcome is not guaranteed
