If you're like me, good food plays an essential role in the enjoyment of life. That's why some of my favorite books are food memoirs. There is nothing quite as satisfying to me as an interwoven tale of personal discovery and the art of good eating. MFK Fischer, Ruth Reichl and Jeffrey Steingarten are all giants within the genre and highly recommended if you haven't read them already. However, here are a few new faces to discover and descriptive narratives to savor:
Fair shares for all: a memoir of family and food / John Haney.
Wrestling with gravy : a life, with food / Jonathan Reynolds.
Trail of crumbs : hunger, love, and the search for home / Kim Sunée.
Broccoli and other tales of food and love / Lara Vapnyar.
