12 Food Memoirs Everyone Should Read!
I adore reading all kinds of books and, not surprisingly, food memoirs are one of my favorites. I love the style of people recording their life experiences and pairing them with wonderful recipes. I am proud to say I’ve read every single one of the memoirs listed here. In fact, I’ve read several more than these, but these are a few of my true favorites. I highly recommend that you treat yourself to a volume or two, you’ll get them just in time for summer reading!

Don’t forget Blood, Bones, and Butter! It’s fantastic!
Starting to think I need to branch out in my reading. I have read all of these books as well. I was just looking at my bookshelf and I have to say I would have a real hard time narrowing the list down to 12. I have to agree with Lacy that Blood, Bones, and Butter would be in my top five. Also, Barbara Kingsolver’s Animal, Vegetable, Miracle would have to be there. The best food memoir I have read in the last couple of weeks is Mamam’s Homesick Pie by Donia Bijan.
