What should I eat? How much should I eat? What does it mean to be
nourished? How can I, a food lover and lifelong overeater, learn to
be satisfied? These are the questions Dayna Macy asks in her debut
memoir, "Ravenous". Like many of us, Macy has had a complicated
relationship with food. In order to transform this relationship,
she embarks on a year-long journey to uncover the origins of her
food obsessions. From her childhood home in upstate New York and
back up the California coast, Macy travels across the USA, meeting
with farmers, food artisans, butchers, a Zen chef, a forager, a
chocolatier and others to understand where her meals come from, why
she craves certain foods, and what food means to her. She looks at
how nostalgia is deeply embedded in food, and how the powerful
forces of family and tradition shape our food choices. Rather than
head straight for the diet manuals, she chooses to change her
relationship with food from the inside out. She delves deeper into
the spiritual underpinnings of eating, examines what it means to be
satisfied, and ultimately forges her own path to balance and
freedom. Far more than a book about how to lose weight, it offers
comfort and understanding for those who are also struggling or
hoping to mend one of the most important of life's relationships -
to the food we eat.
