Some of my favorite food books (not cookbooks) on food are Mango & Peppercorns, Slow Noodles, Crying in HMart Kitchen Confidential, My Side of the River (not really a food book but a lovely discussion of identity as a Mexican American) and Eating Vietnam (did not love how the author demonized Vietnam as a culture but the writing was vivid and griping).
Looking for more books along these lines! My cultures of curiosity right now are: Latin America, China, Western Africa and India (South Asia generally).
Thanks in advance!!
