of Life
A Memoir of Identity, Appetite, and the Hunger for Home
INSIDE THE BOOKa Dream Made Real
Family, Italy, &
Adopted at just three days old, she spent years carrying a hunger she couldn't name — until a kitchen in Florence gave her a language for it. Not in words… in heat, in dough, and in the way a table full of people suddenly feels like home. She returned and built something real from that new foundation: a business, a table, and a life centered on bringing people together in the ways that truly matter.
Secret Ingredients of Life is the story of what it takes to stop searching and start building.
If you've ever felt that hunger — you'll recognize yourself in these pages.
Some people are born knowing where they belong.
Susanne wasn't one of them.
The book is finally here.
