You and I Eat the Same: On the Countless Ways Food and Cooking Connect Us to One Another by Chris Ying

5.0

---

This book is, pardon me, absolutely delicious. I sat down at my desk on a Saturday to skim through it and ended up reading the whole thing, loving every minute, audibly exclaiming "wow!" much to the bafflement of my office mate. The essays are lively and could be consumed a la carte, but so well organized that if the reader wishes to consume the book entirely in order it flows much like a well-arranged multi-course meal. A delightful collection of multicultural food writing you'll want to share with others. (Thanks to NetGalley for the review copy for librarians. This review is my own unbiased opinion.)
