Beautifully written and moving. Zauner makes an entire culture (viewed through its cuisine) accessible to all. Her depictions of grief are poignant

Wow....I cannot even fully express how much this book impacted me, changed me, and how much it means to me. It felt like a truly beautiful celebration of the life of her mother, as well as something so personal and vulnerable to her and her grief that I found myself at times completely stunned. The writing is absolutely incredible and the descriptions of food, simple moments, and her feelings had me in awe. As someone with a Korean parent, the way this managed to capture the very specific type of affection within Korean culture, as well as so many other beautiful aspects to it, made this so incredibly personal to me. I saw my aunts in this, my grandma. It was devastating but in a way that makes you love everyone around you so much more. If you have the chance, PLEASE give this a read.
