Listen to 32 Mealtime Memoirs from the Past Five Years

Posted by April Umminger on November 22, 2021
It's the time of year for soups, sautees, and stories! If you're looking for a palate cleansing non-fiction to listen to, this roundup has memoirs that are both sweet and salty. These audiobooks serve up the true stories of celebrity chefs, restaurant critics, movie stars, and famous foodies.  

If you're in the mood for comfort food, listen to Emily Nunn's The Comfort Food Diaries for all the ingredients to mend a broken heart. Notes from a Young Black Chef will take you inside one of the most celebrated cooking shows as well as the kitchen of the White House in an inspiring memoir that explores the intersection of race, fame, and food. 

Also on the menu are memoirs from everyday epicureans—from daughters to dads—all sharing how food fed their souls and changed their lives. 

Scroll over the book covers all from the past five years to learn more about each novel, and be sure to add the books that pique your interest to your Want to Read shelf!

Lady Dazy I enjoy reading these sort of Foodie books because they have some great ideas.


Erin (she_is_2_fond_of_books) Glad to se The Dirty Life on this list. It’s a hidden gem.

Neville I’m the author’s brother and a central character of Tastes Like War. It should not be marketed as a memoir as there are too many verifiable falsehoods. Please see my review for further details.
