Savage Feast: Three Generations, Two Continents, and a Dinner Table by Boris Fishman

emotional reflective slow-paced

3.0

Hard to rate this book because I feel like the beginning about the author's family history in Belarus, and escaping the USSR are really, really good, but the later sections that transition into straight memoir about the author's own life are weaker. The concept of a memoir centered around food is great, though, and the food writing itself is good even if almost none of the recipes sounded good to me lol (I'm a picky eater).
