Recipe for Second Chances by Ali Rosen

Not much "com" in this rom-com and waaay too much navel-gazing for me.
The theme of this book is useful and appealing, and I appreciated the "how to bring it" section of each recipe, which covered storage, temp, reheating, and transport. In that regard, it succeeded at its mission.
