Heartburn
A food writer discovers her husband's affair while seven months pregnant, and includes the recipes.
Rachel Samstat, a cookbook writer seven months pregnant, discovers her husband is in love with someone else, and narrates the collapse of the marriage with recipes folded in. Ephron based it closely on her own divorce from Carl Bernstein, which caused considerable trouble at the time. It is a short, extremely funny book about humiliation, and the vinaigrette instructions are serious.
