Description
The Book of Difficult Fruit is a unique blend of food history, memoir, and recipe book. Kate Lebo's lyrical essays explore twenty-six fruits, weaving together culinary, medical, and personal themes.
From the humble Aronia to the infamous Durian, each fruit serves as a catalyst for Lebo's thoughtful reflections on life, relationships, self-care, and modern medicine. With recipes and black and white illustrations, this book offers intimate and sensuous contemplations on the power of food to nourish both body and soul.
With its associative, poetic approach, The Book of Difficult Fruit is a surprising and ecstatic read that will leave you with new insights into the world around you. A fascinating and deeply felt work, this book is a must-have for anyone who loves food, nature, or simply wants to slow down and appreciate the beauty in everyday things.
