Step into the bustling kitchen of one of history's most famous writers. When Annie Burns arrives from Ireland to work as a cook for Mr. Ralph Waldo Emerson, she faces a very unusual problem. The brilliant poet does not seem to care about food at all. He prefers the warm colors of a sunset to a warm bowl of soup, claiming to live entirely on imagination. Worried that she might fail at her new job, Annie decides to take a page from the great man's own books. If Mr. Emerson loves imagination, she will put her own poetic creativity right into her cooking. By mixing her own magic into her recipes, she sets out to prove that a beautifully baked pie can be just as inspiring as a starry night. Based on the true story of the author's great-grandmother, this heartwarming tale blends history and family lore. It is a wonderful celebration of creativity, showing how passion and imagination can make any job truly extraordinary.
