Valerie Bertinelli transforms her relationship with food after reaching age 60. The beloved actress and bestselling author abandons calorie counting and food guilt forever. She stops labeling meals as good or bad. She quits punishing herself for missed goals. Instead, she embraces pure enjoyment and learns to say yes to culinary pleasure. Bertinelli presents 100 recipes that nourish both body and spirit. Her collection spans every occasion, from solo steak dinners to dinner party ice cream bars. She encourages splurging on farmers market finds and cooking without restriction. Written in her trademark honest voice, the cookbook becomes a direct conversation with readers. Each recipe serves as permission to spoil yourself and others through food. Bertinelli proves that true indulgence takes countless forms and leads to a more fulfilling existence.
