"Kim Sunee's food, life, and writing are the stuff of pure genius. When she cooks, I am hungry, craving not just her food but also the essence of her presence and the mindfulness with which she lives. She has taken recipes from near and far, and served them to us with doses of stylishness, honest ingredients, playful spices, and haunting flavors." (Suvir Saran, Top Chef Master, author American Masala and Indian Home Cooking) "There is a big difference between traveling to escape and traveling to discover. A Mouthful of Stars is a book that shows the beauty of learning about yourself, the food you eat, the world around you, and the wonderful people at every stop. It's a poignant voyage through the smart writings and wonderful recipes of Kim Sunee."

I want to follow her everywhere she goes, reflect on every thought in this moving story, and make a meal of A Mouthful of Stars.
