📝 Description: Blue Plate Special: An Autobiography of My Appetites

"For novelist Kate Christensen, food has always been a powerful connector to herself and to the world. In this passionate feast of a memoir, Christensen searches for love, confidence, and a sense of belonging. As she moves from an unorthodox childhood in 1960s Berkeley to suburban Arizona, from France to Brooklyn to Maine and other places in between, it is always the essential pleasures and comforts of a good meal that sustains her: a perfect soft-boiled egg, warm spinach pie, the memory of a slice of Anadama bread with jam"--Page 4 of cover.
