The narrative captures the tension between Isabella's deep passion for cooking and Molly's indifferent attitude toward culinary arts. Roberts delves into the complexities of Molly's character, exploring her past and the reasons behind her neglect of food, revealing a deeper layer to the story.
Molly is a celebrity who does not like food, and Isabella is as passionate about food as anyone is passionate about anything. Her whole life is food.
