Here are more food memoirs I have read and loved:
Toast : The Story of a Boy's Hunger by Nigel Slater. He is not a celebrity chef, but has written a food column for over 25 years in the Guardian's Observer. His memoir describes daily life in 1960s suburban England of his youth.
Cooking for Mr. Latte: A Food Lover's Courtship, with Recipes by Amanda Hesser. Longtime food writer for NYT, founder of Food52, I have always appreciated her writing style.
Fresh Off the Boat: A Memoir by Eddie Huang. A food memoir so good it was made into a TV show. (which I have never watched, I don't watch much TV) which he wasn't thrilled about. Excellent edgy writing about immigrants assimulating into American life.
Burnt Toast Makes You Sing Good: A Memoir with Recipes from an American Family by Kathleen Flinn. I enjoyed this memoir of her quirky family’s culinary adventures in the Midwest was named a 2015 Notable Book by the Library of Michigan.
There are many more! Just writing this down makes me find more of them that I want to read. What are your favorites?
