Recs if you like Save Me the Plums: My Gourmet Memoir...

Books that feature food. Inspired by my love for food and my growling stomach ꒰ঌ(˶ˆᗜˆ˵)໒꒱

Memoirs by Contestants, Judges, and Hosts of Top Chef (USA). Only adding cookbooks that have a focus on story/history (for instance Carla Hall's Soul Food has a beautiful introduction, but not enough to make it a memoir). Open to suggestions and folks I may have missed! Bon appétit!

Tales from the kitchen

As I’m going through my phd comps reading list, I’ll add the books I’ve been reading. My major field is in oral history & memoir. This list is in the spirit of transparency for my research and accessibility for anyone who is interested in reading on this academic theme.

Further info: I’m in the dept of history and would like to write a food memoir as part of my dissertation, which is why you will see some of those on this list.
