Brigit Binns is a well-known and prolific cookbook author but this week she’s here to talk about her memoir, Rottenkid: A Succulent Story of Survival. Her narrative includes Hollywood stories, an alcoholic actor father, a glamorous narcissistic mother, a bit of political intrigue, world travel, and the search for belonging. It’s a story of both privilege and profound neglect and shows how she found comfort and self-worth in the kitchen. Brigit’s memoir is a testament to female determination and will inspire all who suffer damage from a narcissistic parent.   Brigit finds happiness in her Paso Robles, California kitchen with her dog Stella and her fabulous husband Casey (AKA the Wine Spectator Paso Wine Man).    BRIGIT’S LINKS: Website Buy the book Instagram Threads Good Reads Facebook Substack   Women Beyond a Certain Age is an award-winning weekly podcast with Denise Vivaldo.
