520    " M.F.K. Fisher meets Brain on Fire in this exquisite 
       memoir of a 28-year-old food blogger who cooks her way 
       back to health after a near-fatal aneurysm Jessica Fechtor
       was on top of the world: a Harvard graduate student, 
       happily married, and thinking about starting a family. 
       Then, while attending an academic conference, she went for
       a run and an aneurysm burst in her brain. Multiple 
       surgeries left her skull startlingly deformed. She lost 
       her sense of smell, the sight in her left eye, and her 
       confidence about who she was and what mattered. Jessica's 
       journey to recovery began in the kitchen as soon as she 
       was strong enough to stand at the stovetop and stir. There,
       she learned about the restorative powers of kneading, 
       salting, and sifting, that food had something to tell her,
       and that it felt good to listen. For readers of Molly 
       Wizenberg, Tamar Adler, Laurie Colwin, and Ruth Reichl, as
       well as Oliver Sacks and Jill Bolte Taylor, Stir is a 
       memoir (with recipes) of what it means to fix what's 
       broken and live with what can't be fixed, to nourish and 
       be nourished, to remember what it is to be hungry, honor 
       that hunger, and learn how to feed it"--|cProvided by

       infection, Jessica Fechtor set about cooking and baking to
       pull herself back together again, fixing what was broken, 
       and living with what couldn't be fixed"--|cProvided by
