"Kim Sunée takes us on a lyrical journey from Korea to New Orleans to the South of France. Along the way there are unforgettable portraits and a heartbreaking romance, but food is her touchstone and her passion. The descriptions on almost every page are mouth-wateringly evocative, the recipes divine, she is the M.F.K. Fisher of her generation." --Julia Reed
