Love, Loss, and What We Ate: A Memoir

Well-written and interesting, particularly the sections about her childhood in India and New York. I wouldn't have read this if not for the endometriosis connection (what a connection to have with someone!), and I wish there had been a bit more about that, but this is a memoir, not a medical treatise. Lakshmi writes really well about the anger and frustration and disconnection from others that comes with any chronic pain condition. And there are bonus recipes!
