In April 2001, Trevis Gleason was a chef on the rise, teaching at institutions such as Cornell University and California Culinary Academy.
Then one day, just as his career was entering rarefied air, he suffered a stroke-like episode and was diagnosed with incurable multiple sclerosis. He lost everything – his job, his marriage, even his perceived persona.
Instead of falling to pieces, he saw an opportunity to fulfil a long-postponed dream: he put life in Seattle on hold and moved to west Kerry. Renting a cottage in ‘The Town’, braving sheep-obstructed roads and tapping into a profound passion for food, he learned his life, loves and even dreams weren’t lost – just waiting to be rediscovered. In a moving memoir, Trevis reveals the challenges and joys of living with a disease in an Irish town.
He surmounts physical setbacks and cultural differences with self-effacing wit, serving up life’s lessons and his favourite recipes one tasty chapter after another.
