With Love, Chaos and Rigatoni

P Mami's Guide to the Good Life




Discover la dolce vita with P Mami’s nine principles for a pleasure-filled, colourful life of love, creativity – and pasta.

Jenna Holmes, known affectionately by her community as P Mami, has cultivated a lifestyle centred around extracting the most pleasure from the simplest of things. The ones readily available to us if we just open our eyes: a perfectly juicy peach, an ocean swim on a hot day, a salted margarita rim, a hyena laugh with a friend.

With her trademark infectious energy, in this book Jenna shares the nine core principles that guide all the decisions she makes – big and small – to build the most creative and inspired life possible.

It’s a rollercoaster, no doubt, and with the pleasure, passion and purpose comes some pain, too. But there’s always a rainbow in every cloud, and a plate of hot pasta to be found.

With Love, Chaos and Rigatoni is a delightful quest through stories, lessons, travel tips and recipes – an invigorating invitation to locate your inner zing, P Mami-style.
