I had never heard of this author, who normally writes poetry. Aimee is a writer, professor, and mother who shares her fondest food memories with us in this memoir that blends her personal history with botanical and historical facts about numerous foods that have shaped her life.
The proud daughter of a Filipino mother and an Indian father, Aimee shares her culture and heritage in this sampling of short stories that I was surprised to enjoy so much. Each chapter, or short story, is titled with a food. When talking about Pecans, Aimee mentioned being down south for a book signing during a pecan festival and enjoying the Honey Crisp pecans.
I have no idea what Honey Crisp Pecans are, but I had some pecans and some hot honey, and I'm trying to snack a little healthier as a New Year begins, so I put them in a skillet and cooked and stirred over medium-high heat until the honey was absorbed, and the pecans were glazed and toasted. They are amazing. If these are not Honey Crisp Pecans....they should be.

The street vendors in NYC sell something like the the honey coated nuts which are delicious and this recipe sounds easy enough to make. I do enjoy cookbooks that shares the author's culture and heritage. Thanks for the review.
