She's not particularly good at it, either. But, like so many of us...she does it anyway. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhy is that? Where did these expectations come from? What happens if you don't live up to the ideal of the perfect wife\/mother\/chef? And would someone please open a window before the fire department comes? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eWhere There's Smoke, There's Dinner: The Last Cookbook You'll Never Need\u003c\/i\u003e is an accidental memoir from a woman whose comics earn rave reviews around the world but whose meals earn shrugs around the dinner table. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMarinating in an unconventional and aromatic blend of formats, Hayden traces the nuances of her complicated relationship to food. Anecdotal comics alternate with wryly ironic \"recipes,\" peppered with oven fires, explosions, prayers, and incantations. Along the way, all the salty judgments and bitter frustrations just might caramelize into some real wisdom and self-acceptance. In any case, it's all hand-painted in mouth-watering color as a tribute to Hayden's love of cookbooks...or at least the illustrations inside them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jennifer Hayden\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1603095675\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781603095679\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Top Shelf Productions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/11\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Jennifer Hayden","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47087652995327,"sku":"9781603095679","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7a28dcf0-fc56-4512-9ad8-e1045a4e0119.jpg?v=1753850438","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/where-theres-smoke-theres-dinner-jennifer-hayden-9781603095679","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
