About This Item
226 Pages. Stated: First Edition and by the full number line. The dust jacket is Not price-clipped.
This is a gem of a memoir book about someone that was a Hollywood insider and left that life to move to VT and start a Confectionary there. The book's dust jacket and interior book are both in like-new condition and feel like a book that was bought, but never read and thus all of the printing is in a totally preserved and enjoyable condition and the bindings are still tight and sound.
If you should purchase this book from us, it will be carefully wrapped up, then padded and boxed, and mailed right away to you and will come with our honest appreciation.
Synopsis
A former Hollywood insider trades the Hollywood Hills for Green Acres--and lives to tell about it in this hilarious, poignant treat of a memoir.As head of her celebrity sister's production company, Gesine Bullock-Prado had a closet full of designer clothes and the ear of all the influential studio heads, but she was miserable. The only solace she found was in her secret hobby: baking. With every sugary, buttery confection to emerge from her oven, Gesine took one step away from her glittery, empty existence--and one step closer to her true destiny. Before long, she and her husband left the trappings of their Hollywood lifestyle behind, ending up in Vermont, where they started the gem known as Gesine Confectionary. And they never looked back. Confections of a Closet Master Baker follows Gesine's journey from sugar-obsessed child to miserable, awkward Hollywood insider to reluctant master baker. Chock-full of eccentric characters, beautifully detailed descriptions of her baking process, ceaselessly funny renditions of Hollywood nonsense, and recipes, the ingredients of her story will appeal to anyone who has ever considered leaving the life they know and completely starting over.From the Hardcover edition.
