Interwoven with the text are seasoned indulgence intended to restore weary feminine souls--recipes, rituals, decorating, fashion, and gardening hints.By encouraging her delight in the often overlooked gifts of everyday--from the aroma of simmering homemade spaghetti sauce to the sensation of freshly laundered linen against bare skin--Romancing the ordinary is sure to help every woman fall in love with Life.
