The measure of my powers : a memoir of food, misery, and Paris / Jackie Kai Ellis. by Ellis, Jackie Kai. Appetite by Random House, 2017.

ISBN:  9780147530394 (pbk.) Summary:  On the surface, Jackie Kai Ellis's life was the one that every woman, herself included, wanted. She was in her late twenties and married to a handsome man, she had a successful career as a designer, and a home that she shared with her husband. But instead of feeling fulfilled, happy, and loved, each morning she'd wake up dreading the day ahead, searching for a way out. Depression clouded every moment, the feelings of inadequacy that had begun in childhood now consumed her, and her marriage was slowly transforming into one between two strangers - unfamiliar, childless, and empty. In this darkness, she could only find one source of light: the kitchen. It was the place where Jackie escaped, finding peace, comfort, and acceptance. This is the story of how, armed with nothing but a love of food and the words of the great 20th century food writer M.F.K. Fisher, one woman begins a journey - from France to Italy, then the Congo and back again - to find herself. Along the way, she goes to pastry school in Paris, eats the most perfect apricots over the Tuscan hills, watches a family of gorillas grazing deep in the Congolese brush, has her heart broken one last time on a bridge in Lyon, and, ultimately, finds a path to life and joy. Jackie Kai Ellis is the founder of Vancouver's Beaucoup Bakery. Genre:  Memoirs.
