BESS BOMBON n is a fictional novel character with very real opinions.

She cooks without guilt, flirts with flavor, and believes that food should make you feel alive, not approved.
She does not whisper.
She does not tone herself down.
And she has absolutely no interest in beige.

Bess Bombon lives somewhere between a kitchen, a memory, and a decision that felt slightly reckless — and turned out just right.

“He called me cold.
So I made gazpacho, licked the spoon,
and reminded him what craving tastes like.”

HOW BESS MOVES THROUGH THE WORLD

Bess believes in:

• sass, spice, and zero regrets

• plants cooked with confidence

• color, heat, and curiosity

• music playing while something simmers

• saying yes when it feels right

NOT YOUR AVERAGE LUNCH BOX

Not Your Average Lunch Box is Bess Bombon’s cookbook, which just might make Gwyneth sob in her beige napkin.

A QUIET WORD OF WARNING

This is not for the beige end of your friend scale.

If you like your food obedient and well-behaved,
you may want to look elsewhere.

If you enjoy curiosity, color, and a little trouble in the kitchen —
you will feel at home.
