Would it mean ceaseless domesticity and service? Do we have to eat and cook \"like a man\" to have our appetites taken seriously? Or can we eat and cook in a way that is true to ourselves, that roots us in the places we've called home, and that helps define our politics and ethics? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e From eating her grandma's lamb chops and picking apples with her mom on Long Island, to an interest in chocolate leading her to open a vegan microbakery and mushroom reporting in Puerto Rico steering her toward the love of her life, Kennedy has always been guided by curiosity and a hunger for flavor and experience. \u003ci\u003eOn Eating\u003c\/i\u003e teaches us that we don't have to choose between what is delicious and what can sustain our planet and ourselves. But it's also about the deep hunger of loss, grief, families, and the stories we tell each other in order to survive. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eOn Eating\u003c\/i\u003e is not only a provocative bildungsroman and a celebration of desire, but it also challenges each of us to consider our own relationship with food and how our need to eat--to live--impacts the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alicia Kennedy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Balance\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/14\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.90w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780306836336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlicia Kennedy \u003c\/b\u003eis a writer from New York based in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
