A story about one woman's search for self-love, experienced through food and travel. On the surface, Jackie Kai Ellis' life was the the one that every girl - herself included - wished. She was in her later 20s and hitched to a handsome man, and she possessed a successful profession as a artist and a home that she shared with her spouse. But rather than sensing fulfilled, happy, and treasured, every morning she'd awaken dreading the day ahead, searching for a means out. Unhappiness clouded every moment, the emotions of inadequacy that possessed begun in youth now consumed her, and her relationship was slowly changing into one between two strangers - unfamiliar, childless, and clear. On this darkness, she may find only one source of light: your kitchen. It was the place where Jackie escaped, finding serenity, comfort, and acceptance. This is the story of how, equipped with only a love of food and the words of the great 20th century food article writer M. F. K. Fisher, one girl begins a voyage - from France to Italy, then the Congo and again - to find herself. Along the way, she goes to pastry college in Paris, eats the ideal apricots in the Tuscan hills, watches a family of gorillas grazing profound in the Congolese brush, has her heart and soul broken one last time on a bridge in Lyon, and, in the long run, finds a path to life and delight. Told with insight and intimacy, and radiating with warmness and humor, The Way of measuring My Capabilities is an unforgettable experience of the senses.
