Love, Loss, and What We Ate: A Memoir by Padma Lakshmi

funny inspiring reflective fast-paced

5.0

*Love, Loss, and What We Ate* by Padma Lakshmi is a delightful, funny, touching, shocking, raw, and utterly delicious memoir. Padma tells her life story in such a beautiful, vulnerable, and authentic way that it’s hard not to fall in love with this book as you devour it.

I highly recommend the audiobook, which I’ve listened to twice. Padma’s voice is not only beautiful but also adds an extra layer of poignancy as she narrates her own story. She is an advocate, a businesswoman, a mother, an entertainer, and above all, a lover of food. Her passion for food is deeply intertwined with her family, culture, and personal history.

This memoir will make you laugh, cry, and ultimately fall in love with Padma’s journey. Check it out as soon as possible—you’re guaranteed to eat it up!
