Blue Plate Special: An Autobiography of My Appetites by Kate Christensen

4.0

I thought this was going to be a book about food, but it's barely that. I wasn't disappointed because the writing drew me in - though it did feel weird to read a memoir from someone I had no connection to, but that only bothered me for the first quarter of the book. I liked reading about her interesting childhood spent moving around, her adventures and her relationships. There's a few recipes included, but they seemed like throwaways - except for the chicken tagine which seems like something I'd want to make. 3.5 stars but bumping up to 4.
