Description
A collection of the year's top food and travel writing, selected by Padma Lakshmi. This anthology celebrates the experiences that connect us all through bold and insightful essays about food, culture, and place. From Dakar in Senegal to Michoacán in south-central Mexico, and from the Camino de Santiago in Spain to everyday life in America, these writers explore how we make and assign meaning in our daily activities. An ode to the American grilled cheese sparks a desire to find beauty in the smallest moments, while an obsessive search for perfect Chinese food blossoms into a heart-wrenching journey. With contributions from C Pam Zhang, Ligaya Mishan, Kiese Laymon, Marian Bull, Mayukh Sen, Ben Taub, and others, this collection is a joyful and moving celebration of the power of food and travel to connect us.
