Reviews
"Rigorous reportage and history exist alongside memoir in these exciting and enriching essays by andrea bennett. With no interest in being didactic, bennett thoughtfully explores questions around the cooking, production, and future of food. Smart, somehow both rigorous and fun, this is my favourite book of food writing in years." -- Naben Ruthnum, author of Curry: Eating, Reading, and Race
"Good memoir writing about food gets at sensory experience and tactile memories, yes. But bennett's essays on eating and feeding others open up the reader's mind to what makes the genre truly great: the act of staying fed being as frustrating as it is calming, and as revealing about inequality as it is nourishing to body and mind." -- Chantal Braganza, deputy editor, Food, Chatelaine
