Hey there, I’m Jess ✨. On The Signature, I share reflections on beauty, routines, travel, wellness, culture, and everyday life. For those drawn to a calmer, more intentional way of living, I send a free newsletter each month on the 7th. You're welcome to join.

Look, let me be very honest: I don't love cooking. I don't like all the slicing, the dicing, the waiting, the cleaning. That is more on Bruno's side, he loves and relishes in all of it. No wonder 90% of our meals are made by him. But I do some things to. I do what I called "food assembling": I like to grab already prepped and chopped items and just give them a twist and I call that cooking. You can roll your eyes but I have survived 30+ years like that, okay?
