This book is an excellent memoir and excellent food writing. Onwuachi does a fantastic job of telling his life story through food, weaving educational culinary tidbits into raw, honest personal anecdotes.

Even if I didn't know much about Kwame Onwaucahi before jumping into this book, I learned a lot after reading it. I enjoyed that recipes were included throughout and so inherently tied to each section. I don't read a lot of cooking memoirs, but read this one for the Read Harder challenge. And I'm happy to say it was really well done!
