Notes

Description
"In the tradition of M.F.K. Fisher, Laurie Colwin, and Ruth Reichl, [this book] is a narrative in which food -- eating it, cooking it, reflecting on it -- becomes the vehicle for unpacking a life. Christensen explores her history of hunger, not just for food but for love and confidence and a sense of belonging, with a profound honesty, starting with her unorthodox childhood in 1960s Berkeley as the daughter of a mercurial legal activist who ruled the house with his fists"--Dust jacket flap.
