delicious and decadent dishes to enjoy and share

"When Valerie Bertinelli turned 60, she said "Enough already!" and ended her battle with the scale for good. She stopped counting calories. She stopped thinking of certain foods as good or bad. She quit saying no and began saying yes, finally learning how to enjoy the pure pleasure of being alive - starting in the kitchen. In short, she learned how to indulge. With this gorgeous cookbook, Valerie shares her secrets for indulging so you can start living your best, most fulfilling life too. Whether it's splurging on fresh produce at the farmer's market, cooking an extravagant steak dinner for one, or serving an ice cream sundae bar at a dinner party, this book is a reminder that indulging can take many shapes and forms. You'll discover the delicious recipes she cooks for her friends and family, including favorites like Garlic Confit BLT, Oven "Fried" Okra, Sausage and Olive Cheese Bites, Spaghetti al Limone, Salmon Burgers With Quick-Pickled Vegetables, Filet Mignon with Béarnaise Sauce and Chocolate Peanut Butter Dates, and more. Written in Valerie's warmhearted and intimate style--including heartfelt essays about how to savor moments big and small--this cookbook is a permission slip to enjoy food, and more importantly, enjoy life."--, Provided by publisher
