Sometimes you happen upon a book that you just want to gulp down in one sitting. Such is the case with Kim Sunée's memoir Trail of Crumbs: Hunger, Love And the Search For Home.

Currently Cottage Living's food editor, Sunée shares her tale of abandonment in Korea, adoption in New Orleans and whirlwind passions in Europe. Throughout, she weaves in stories about her love for cooking and food, whether sharing the step-by-step instructions for her Poppy's authentic N'awlins Crawfish Bisque or the complex recipe for a very sophisticated Chocolate Cake with Marscapone-Chestnut Cream. And, though love - in many forms - was in abundance in her early years and young adulthood, even affection, ardor, great friends, the country roads of Provence, the city streets of Paris and the delectable food she prepares can't assuage her true hunger: a longing for identity.

Every page was delicious.

*Update: Kim Sunée will be in New York on March 19th, speaking about her book that evening at The Korea Society. For more info, check out this link.
