"A colorful, thoughtful collection that reads like memoir-meets-food science, perfect for foodies and anyone looking to examine their relationship with food and celebrate the joy of eating." --Library Journal (starred review)

"[Tandoh] looks at food as a 'whole picture, ' sharing facts and culinary studies that will uplift readers--from waxing poetic about the liberating joys of baking to citing studies that correlate the pleasure humans derive from food to its nutritional power. . . . Home cooks will appreciate the handful of recipes sprinkled throughout, such as a sweet potato and smoky butternut squash stew with chickpea dumplings." --Publishers Weekly

"Part memoir, occasional cookbook, and mostly manifesto, this book . . . will have those ready to tackle the problems of Western food culture nodding 'Yes!' as Tandoh challenges the status quo." --Booklist
