Before she understood herself, Tarajia Morrell understood flavor.

Born to one of New York's most celebrated wine families, Tarajia Morrell grew up at the table, where conversation was wine-soaked and food was the love language--a merchant's daughter amid the Manhattan elite.

In this lush, lyrical memoir, the James Beard Award-winning writer traces a life shaped by hunger--for beauty, for love, for pleasure, and for belonging. From the electric excess of the late-'90s New York City club scene to Hollywood tables where she served celebrities, Tarajia moved through the world restless but hopeful, unsure of what would come next.

Wherever she found herself, the pleasures of food guided her. The brine and brightness of ceviche on a Uruguayan beach. The intoxicating sprawl of Barcelona's food markets. A perfectly ripe plum eaten over the sink by her graceful mother. Through deep heartbreak and loss, it was food that kept Tarajia tethered and whispered of who she was.

Desire Feeds the Feast is a boldly written memoir about the ache of lost loves, the comfort of a perfect bite, and the hard-won victory of finding home where least expected.
