A carefully written, sensitive look at the life of Fatima Ali. Her childhood, her explosive growth in the field of cooking, and her untimely death due to cancer are all written beautifully by Tarajia Morrell and Fatima's mother. I'm so glad I got to read this one. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.

emotional inspiring sad fast-paced

Thank you to the author, publisher and Netgalley for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for my honest review.  

Savor was a beautifully written, raw book about Fatima Ali.  I loved the descriptions about her childhood, living in both Pakistan and Texas, food, her desire to feed the hungry, her education, her relationships and her time on Top Chef.  As a cancer survivor, I was brokenhearted following her journey.  As a mother, I was amazed by her mother's honesty.  

Despite sad and horrific subjects, this book shines.  Fatima, Tarajia Morrell, and Farezeh tell a story that is tragic and beautiful!
