Tell My Mother I Like Boys
This non-fiction memoir by a celebrated chef traces a life lived between continents, where the kitchen becomes both sanctuary and crucible. It centers on appetite for food, love, and belonging, and the search for self across cultures. An ideal read for adults who love food writing, travel memoirs, and intimate stories of diaspora and identity, told with warmth and honesty.
Story-led and sensory, the narrative moves from the spice-streaked streets of a homeland to the high-pressure world of Michelin-starred kitchens abroad. It weaves memory with technique, showing how a slow-burnished biryani or the delicate layering of a kebab can carry years of exile, longing, and resilience.
Readers will explore concepts of diaspora, identity, resilience, and hospitality, with culinary history woven through personal stories and recipes. The accessible, reflective prose invites readers to consider how meals shape memory and belonging, turning learning into a flavorful, moving experience.
