Phyllis Grant of Dash and Bella

In the nineties, Phyllis worked in pastry at New York City's Bouley, Michael's, and Nobu. She tired quickly of sugar and burning her forearms and never sleeping, so she moved to Berkeley. Fifteen years later she found other reasons to keep her up, her son and daughter "Dash and Bella". This is where she tells her stories about the intersection of cooking and parenting in a beautiful, honest and inspiring way.
