Working through ur kind recs, thank u <3
Oh this is such a good prompt for a list đ§Ąđ§
Such a cool list! I have Slow Noodles: A Cambodian Memoir of Love, Loss, and Family Recipes by Chantha Nguon on my TBR, I havenât read it but it definitely fits!
I was just coming here to recommend this! I read it recently and it definitely fits :) also a great book in general!
Not sure if this is what youâre looking for, but I just bought End Game by Willa Gray and I know her late moms apple pie is very important to the story and it came with a recipe!!
Other food-ish books I might suggest (that come with recipes!) are the Legends and Lattes books by Travis Baldree, and the Fellowship of Bakers and Magic books!!
Amazing theme đż
If you're interested, there is a memoir called Burnt Bread and Chutney by Carmit Delman and she reflects on her Indian and Jewish cultures
Thank you! Adding <3
Chinese Parents Don't Say I Love You by Candice Chung would be a great fit for this list!
Oh I just love this mossy!! đ I feel like Black Cake by Charmaine Wilkerson might also fit this?
I haven't read it yet but Family Style: Memories of an American from Vietnam by Thien Pham is a graphic memoir that seems perfect for this list too :)
