The Taste of My Mouth: A Biography of Taste

“I love the taste of my mouth and I don’t squander it; I give it only out of desire and intent to a new dish with a new flavor. That has made me cautious about trying foods, especially the dishes I grew up with, which have soaked, like a sponge, into my memories.” A novel and autobiography in which the author traces the biography of her own sense of taste, and its connection to childhood and memory.
