The creator and host of the podcast "Dinner for One" shares how she rebuilt her life after a painful divorce by beginning to cook dinner for one in her Paris kitchen while learning to date again.
What The Reviewers Say
Dacres recounts with self-deprecating, often brutal honesty her journey to understand and connect with her true self. Like a play, Dinner for One is structured with a prologue and successive acts, ending with Dacres' gradual and passionate awakening to the very French art of cultivating pleasure, self-worth and an appreciation for well-conceived, delicious food.
Dacres writes honestly about identity and the pressures we put on ourselves. Sharing the ways she creates a home in Paris that fits who she truly is, one meal at a time, her work speaks directly to readers..
... convivial if uneven.
