That's my motto.”

Her work in recording her recipes developed entirely new powers, but rather than exhausting herself in the process of reflecting on her years of cooking, she used them in her next book.

What is your bedtime ritual?
I do my best to get everyone's electronics out of the room at 9pm, including my own. I perform this ritual on my children. It's something we've been doing since they were little: aromatherapy massages on their feet. I take 10-15 minutes in each room. My son is now in his teens, so the reason I stay with my daughter for so long is mostly because he just wants to give me his own space. Then it's around 10pm and all I have to do is sleep. I like to go to bed early because I get up very early.
