INTRODUCTION

Whenever I’m asked how I got here—presumably , to a place
where you’d have my cookbook in front of you, not my writing
lair with a bay window overlooking the sea my sofa with an ex-
plosion of wooden train tracks around me—I’m always wish I
had a better kitchen story to share. ‘Just tell us your story!’ peo-
ple say, but I think that they’re lying. I think people want me to
tell them a good story.

They want to hear that I 'am a fifth-generation chili maker from
Texas or that I only eat food that I hunt, forage, or find under
the wheel of a car. That I went to cooking school and spent
years on the line being yelled at by a French guy with his name
over the door. Or maybe I was in a thrift store and found a col-
lection of handwritten Hungarian recipe cards and made it my
life’s work to bring an old’s lady’s cooking back to life. People
want a story with drama and excitement. They don’t want to
hear that I’ve been a record store shift supervisor, a swindler of
soft-serve frozen custard, an art therapist, and an IT reporter.

They don’t; want to hear that I just like to cook.

This sweet almond cake is for
everyone who loves the flavour
of almond extract. It may look
like a plain vanilla cake, but the
flavour is much more unique
with almond extract both in the
cake and buttercream frosting.
And not only is the flavour on
point, but the texture is every-
thing you want in a cake. It’s
moist and rich but so soft and
fluffy.
