Bite by Bite: Nourishments and Jamborees - Aimee Nezhukumatathil

Descriere Bite by Bite: Nourishments and Jamborees - Aimee Nezhukumatathil

\nFrom the New York Times bestselling author of World of Wonders, a lyrical book of short essays about food offering a banquet of tastes, smells, memories, associations, and little-known facts about nature\n \nIn Bite by Bite, poet and essayist Aimee Nezhukumatathil explores the way food and drink evokes our associations and remembrances - a subtext or layering, a flavor tinged with joy, shame, exuberance, grief, desire, or nostalgia. \n \nHere, Nezhukumatathil restores some of our astonishment and wonder about food through her encounter with a range of foods and food traditions. From shave ice to lumpia, mangoes to pecans, rambutan to vanilla, she investigates how food marks our experiences and identities; the boundaries between heritage and memory; and the ethics and environmental pressures around gathering and consuming food.\n \nBite by Bite offers a rich and textured kaleidoscope of vignettes and visions into the world of food and nature, drawn together by intimate and funny personal reflections and Fumi Nakamura's gorgeous imagery and illustration. \n
