For food memoirs, I recently read Memoirs of a Young Black Chef by Kwame
Onwuachi and it was great!

I love Ruth Reichl’s food/food writing memoirs. Garlic and Sapphires is my
favorite, about being the NYT restaurant critic in the 90’s. Amazing
descriptions, but also tackles issues of sexism, ageism, and her
mission/struggles to introduce food from non-white cultures into the public
eye. I taught it for years in my creative writing class.

Hello BAISLERs,
One of our faculty members asked for help selecting nonfiction memoirs for
summer reading (high school level). We're looking for 3-4 titles for
students to choose from and hope to include a diversity of viewpoints and
themes. Thanks, in advance, for your valuable feedback!
