    About this audiobook

    From 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 marvelous curiosities from nature

    In Bite by Bite, poet and essayist Aimee Nezhukumatathil explores the way food and drink evoke our associations and remembrances—a subtext or layering, a flavor tinged with joy, shame, exuberance, grief, desire, or nostalgia.

    Nezhukmatathil restores our astonishment and wonder about food through her encounters 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 and explores the boundaries between heritage and memory.

    Bite by Bite offers a rich and textured kaleidoscope of vignettes and visions into the world of food and nature, drawn together by intimate and humorous personal reflections.

    Editor's Note

    Nourishes and delights…

    Food and memory go hand-in-hand in this mouth-watering take on a memoir. Poet and author Nezhukumatathil (“World of Wonders”) explores history — both personal and global — through the foods that have nourished and delighted her since childhood, from lumpia to mangosteen and beyond. Each flavor becomes a revelation thanks to Nezhukumatathil’s lyricism.
