If you’ve ever found inspiration in the food or words of one of your favorite cooks, you will immediately connect with author Kim Severson. Even if you don’t boil water, this book will make you want to cook, eat and find your own meaning in food.
You may not recognize the name Kim Severson but if you followed the food section of the SF Chronicle in the 1990′s or you currently devour the culinary offers in the New York Times, you know Kim’s work.
This isn’t the memoir of just another foodie. Severson eats, breathes and makes American food culture and in this book, she shares her unique perspective on eight women who have helped shape modern, American food from Marion Cunningham to Rachel Ray. The book is beautifully written, with a kind of sincerity rarely found in a food industry tell-all. Not your typical summer read, Spoon Fed will become a beloved addition to your beach bag.
