Always Enough: A Global Food Memoir

Annette Anthony’s Always Enough offers a global food memoir that traces her culinary education across continents. The narrative moves through Philadelphia, Paris, Morocco, the Ivory Coast, Bologna, Greece, and London. This journey allows her to absorb cultural insights by shopping, cooking, and eating in diverse local environments. The book presents 160 recipes learned directly from these international kitchens. The meals described model adaptation to available ingredients and surroundings. Anthony promotes flavors and ingredients often overlooked in traditional Western cooking. Her approach encourages sustainable and healthy eating for both vegetarians and meat eaters. The text shares stories of how her identity formed through immersion in local culture. This volume suits readers interested in culinary travel, African American history, and essay-based narratives. It appeals to those seeking recipes that reflect a broad swath of international cuisines. Readers looking for standard regional cookbooks without personal narrative may find the scope too wide. The book stands as a love letter to tables in America, Europe, and Africa.
