Tarajia Morell, author of "Savor"

The book “Savor: A Chef’s Hunger for More” is the story of Fatima Ali, a young Pakistani-American chef working in the US who was featured on the TV show Top Chef and who was set to become an influential voice in the world of gastronomy when she was diagnosed with terminal bone cancer.  My guest today is Fatima Ali’s collaborator Tarajia Morrell who is a New York-based food writer, who’s written numerous food-related pieces for publications like the WSJ Magazine and Departures who was brought in to help Fatima express her story. The book follows her life from her childhood in Lahore, Pakistan which was the beginning of her love affair with food, to working in leading restaurants in the United States. It's a really powerful book that packs an emotional punch, because it’s about dreams and ambition, love of food & family and how all of that is ultimately so fragile in the face of illness & death.  Buy the book: https://amzn.eu/d/gH3F7NY Find Tarajia: Website: https://www.tarajiamorrell.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tarajiamorrell/?hl=en Follow me @litwithcharles for more book reviews and recommendations!
