Gillian Clark, serving up comfort.

CHEF GILLIAN CLARK is a restaurateur, a mother of two sisters, a sister to four other siblings, and an inspiration both in and out of the kitchen. Now a star of the Washington, DC, restaurant scene, Gillian was in major transition 15 years ago. She was all set to leave her 9-to-5 marketing job behind and follow a long-held desire—to move to a farm with her family—when her marriage suddenly dissolved.

In her recent memoir, Out of the Frying Pan, Clark shares her triumphant, and yes, delicious story.
