is a memoir about our longing for home, the many forms that "home" can take, and the role of food in our having it.
Organized by decade and by the cookbooks that shaped the author's life, Tasting Home
takes readers on a journey through the cuisines, cultural spirit, and politics of the 1940s through the 2000s inviting them to feel how deeply food is tied to identity, love, community, and political
engagement.
It comes with recipes.
