Confections of a Closet Master Baker: One Woman's Sweet Journey from Unhappy Hollywood Executive to Contented Country Baker | Gesine Bullock-Prado

#FebruaryFeels #favememoir

I can‘t pick just one favorite memoir so I am going with one of my favorite types of memoirs—foodie memoirs. Because there are so many of them that I like, I‘ll get more specific. Here are a dozen fave foodie memoirs written by women. 🧑🏼‍🍳🥄📚
P.S. I could have put any of Ruth Reichl‘s or Kathleen Flinn‘s memoirs in this collage but I just picked one of each author‘s works to represent. 🤗📚

Prairiegirl_reading Foodie memoirs are great! I‘m usually jealous being brought up on frozen fish sticks and tuna casserole does not a foodie memoir make. 🤣 5y

Eggs What a lovely mix of foodie books 👏🏻🤗👏🏻 5y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Eggs it‘s definitely a sad one... 5y

The Woman Warrior: China Men | Maxine Hong Kingston

#FaveMemoir

I have read only a few memoirs. I am not into this genre. I had to read this one in my senior high school English class. It had already been out for awhile and I didn't make it to the end. Nevertheless, it is the best one I have read.

Eggs It‘s new to me! 5y

TheSpineView @Eggs You would probably like it. It is the story of a Chinese American woman trying to fit into two worlds. Strong voice and a lot of Chinese folklore mixed in to the autobiography. 5y

Eggs Cool thanks for rec! 5y

#FebruaryFeels Day 13: This is one of Fats‘ #FaveMemoir: “Waves is based on Chabbert‘s own experience. After being together for more than eight years, Chabbert and her wife were ready to have a child. Due to unforeseen and unfortunate circumstances, their dream came to an end. Waves is a story of love, loss, and finding the strength to move on.” More of her #FaveMemoir(s) here: https://wp.me/pDlzr-kSD
