She's had a tough life and done amazing things with limited resources but she's kind of an awful person. I was OK with her personality for the first part of the book but she started to lose me when she participated in the panel of female chefs at the CIA and then was so annoyed by the behavior of the other women that she just decided not to speak. She lost me further when she randomly stopped being a lesbian to marry an Italian guy who she certainly didn't seem to like much and then proceeded to complain constantly about how their marriage was terrible.
She's also an incredible snob about pretty much everything. (How dare she mock my vanilla latte!) When she described her epic blood sugar meltdown problem in the midst of telling us how she wouldn't stoop to eat food at a place that offered free mimosas no matter how hungry she was, she lost me forever.
Because I loved reading about the parties her father threw during her childhood and because I really enjoyed some of the other kitchen scenes, I'll give this three stars, but it probably only deserves two.
