Slow Noodles: A Cambodian Memoir of Love, Loss, and Family Recipes by Chantha Nguon

emotional sad medium-paced

4.5

nguon's memoir as a vietnamese and cambodian person during the cambodian civil war and her experience in cambodia, vietnam, and thailand,  interspersing her story with short recipes that pair with the part of her story that she just told. each recipe helps to highlight/illustrate her expirience and feelings from the previous section
first, serious recipes and then things like "camp instant noodles"


grateful that the author shares her stories and perspectives as someone who tried to leave as a refugee to the US but was not able to make it. 

audiobook is narrated by the author's daughter, which is pretty neat.
