Recs if you like Taste: My Life Through Food...

the bittersweet power of food // food and its relationship with memory, culture, identity, family, and love

audiobooks where the narrator is the author! any book goes, no matter the genre. there may be multiple versions of the audiobook, but at least one version has the author as narrator. please suggest more in the comments!

Books that include recipes from the stories

Mostly memoirs, mostly celebrities. Books where listening to the author read it can add so much to the stories because they can convey the exact tone that they intended.

I beg you please start reading celebrity memoirs! They are: A. Super fun B. A great source of gossip C. Supporting the publication of lesser known authors (explained more in the comments)

Open to suggestions!

A compilation of celebrity memoirs, because I like to be noisy and mind other people’s business.

Non-fiction about food, restaurants and the people doing the cooking

Suggestions welcome

Sometimes I just need inspiration to actually cook food that I have at home and not give in to the (constant) urge to take the easy and expensive way out and get take out. That’s all. (Also if you have books that fall into this category PLEASE COMMENT — this list is inspo for me too.)

Books about food, travel, nature, and the ways they intersect. May be narrative cookbooks, travelogues, foraging guides - anything that makes my feet itch for travel and my hands quest for spices and spoons.
