“Bite by Bite” Serves a Plateful of Memories

by | Mar 2025

Bite by Bite

Welcome contributor Rima Parikh, owner of Wayzata’s The Thinking Spot, which focuses on STEM-related books and games for curious minds of all ages.

In Bite by Bite, poet and essayist Aimee Nezhukumatathil explores the way food and drink evoke associations and remembrances. It is a lyrical book of short essays about food, offering a banquet of tastes, smells, memories, associations and marvelous curiosities from nature.

Of its 40-odd mini essays, many are about a variety of fruits, almost guaranteeing there’s one in there you haven’t yet heard of, including apple banana, mangosteen, pawpaw and other seemingly random food items.

Along the way, travel the world with stops in French Polynesia, Greece, Hawaii, India and the Philippines. Each essay ties the food with a humorous personal reflection, making it thoroughly enjoyable to read and explore how foods are so central to our identities, heritage and memory.

In addition to gracing your shelves, this beautifully illustrated and designed book also makes an ideal gift for the foodie in your life.
