When their high-school-aged, punk, runaway daughter is found hosting a Jersey Shore hotel party, Rossiās parents feel they have no other choice: they ship her off to live with a Chasidic rabbi in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. Within the confines of this restrictive culture, Rossiās big city dreams take root. Once she makes her way to Manhattan, Rossiās passion for cooking, which first began as a revolt against the microwave, becomes her life mission.Ā
The Raging SkilletĀ is one womanās story of cooking her way through some of the most unlikely kitchens in New York Cityāat a ābeachā in Tribeca, an East Village supper club, and a makeshift grill at Ground Zero in the days immediately following 9/11.
