Reviews
"With such descriptions and a strong sense of place, Nguon expertly captures the bittersweet feeling of her memories and makes Slow Noodles a moving reflection."-- Eater.com, Named a Most Anticipated Book of Winter/2024 by S an Francisco Chronicle , Reader's Digest , Parade , Publishers Weekly, and Zibby Mag The Best (and Most Anticipated) Nonfiction Books of 2024, So Far - Elle "Best Books to Read in 2024" - PEOPLE.com, "Chantha Nguon connects to the joy of the sight, scent, taste, texture, and even sound of food, and when there is no food to eat she connects to the memory of food. In this potent narrative of unbreakable, inviolable, female power, each recipe is an act of grace, transformation, resistance, and reclamation." -- Alice Randall, New York Times bestselling author and winner of the NAACP Image Award for Soul Food Love, "A testament to the strength of women in times of war, a recipe book of memories, and a lesson in rebuilding after destruction, this memoir is a reminder that the world has ended many times over in different places, and that our teachers in survival walk among us every day." -- Thi Bui, bestselling author of The Best We Could Do: An Illustrated Memoir, "Chantha Nguon's life story -- like so many of those who lived through the Khmer Rouge (or "Pol Pot Time" as Cambodians call it) -- is as extraordinary as the chaotic, violent, and world-shifting events she experienced first hand... She's a compelling storyteller, with recipes from her childhood (like her mother's fish amok) and from refugee camps (Mama-brand instant noodles) that make her tales come alive."-- Food & Wine, Favorite Food Books of 2024, Food & Wine Favorite Food Book 2024 Smithsonian Magazine Best Book about Food 2024 Named a Most Anticipated Book of Winter/2024 by S an Francisco Chronicle , Reader's Digest , Parade , Publishers Weekly, and Zibby Mag The Best (and Most Anticipated) Nonfiction Books of 2024, So Far - Elle "Best Books to Read in 2024" - PEOPLE.com, "[A]n evocative, haunting memoir... those who dive in will find it a remarkable and important piece of work. A moving book that mixes horror and hope, disaster and good food, creating a poignant, fascinating read."-- Kirkus Reviews, "Food is at the heart of this poignant memoir of war and displacement -- food prepared, food shared, food longed for... a heart-shattering read, illuminating the atrocities and cruelty of war but also the strength of those who live through it."-- Minneapolis Star Tribune, "In this engrossing and evocative debut memoir, Nguon recounts how her mother's recipes sustained her family through poverty and genocidal violence... Nguon interweaves the hardships she endured with her favorite recipes and the memories attached to them, offering readers evocative glimpses of the bursts of light that sustained her through long stretches of harrowing darkness. This haunting yet hopeful account will appeal to foodies and history buffs alike."-- Publishers Weekly, "I've never read a book that made me weep, wince, laugh out loud, and rejoice like Slow Noodles. In Chantha Nguon's harrowing, wise, and fiercely feminist memoir, cooking is a language--of love, remembrance, and rebellion--and stories are nourishment." -- Maggie Smith, New York Times bestselling author of You Could Make This Place Beautiful, "Chantha Nguon reclaims the love and culture she lost with a beautiful collection of recipes knitted together with her personal story."-- Reader's Digest, "The book is not only an impactful memoir of an extraordinary woman but a human-centered take on an era that has largely been defined by a lack of humanity."-- San Francisco Chronicle, "[B]y turns, heart-wrenching, inspiring, harrowing, and mouthwatering... Slow Noodles is a rare gem of a story, gorgeously written, humble and stirring, and packed with tempting recipes. Shelf Talker: This memoir of food, family, feminism, and Cambodian history, which includes enticing cookbook-quality recipes, is breathtaking in its emotional resonance and lovely writing."-- Shelf Awareness, "It is rare that a memoir and the meals it recounts truly depend on each other, each intrinsic to the other. Yet that is the case in Slow Noodles , where recipes reinforce the incredible, poignant, difficult, and often joyous tale of Chantha Nguon's survival. This book tells a story that must be heard, and offers the tastes of an extraordinary life." -- Tamar Adler, author of An Everlasting Meal and The Everlasting Meal Cookbook, "Lyrical, harrowing, and fiercely feminist, Chantha Nguon's Slow Noodles is the gripping story of family, survival and food that blends poetic remembrances with 22 unique recipes."-- Southern Review of Books, "Not only the remarkable story of Chantha Nguon's life, Slow Noodles is a beautiful glimpse into the hearts of women as they find each other over food."-- Lisa Donovan, author of Our Lady of Perpetual Hunger., "Nguon's memoir about being a Cambodian refugee surviving a genocide to discovering hope and faith through her mother's recipes will move you to tears. It's not all down notes though and the story beams with hope, pride, and determination."-- Debutiful, "In this heartbreaking memoir, [Nguon] recounts her incredible struggle and perseverance, telling tales of her homeland before it was torn apart and recreating around 20 recipes of her youth... as a means of staying connected to her past."-- Smithsonian Magazine, Best Books About Food 2024
Synopsis
A haunting and beautiful memoir from a Cambodian refugee who lost her country and her family during Pol Pot's genocide in the 1970s but who finds hope by reclaiming the recipes she tasted in her mother's kitchen. RECIPE: HOW TO CHANGE CLOTH INTO DIAMOND Take a well-fed nine-year-old with a big family and a fancy education. Fold in 2 revolutions, 2 civil wars, and 1 wholesale extermination. Subtract a reliable source of food, life savings, and family members, until all are gone. Shave down childhood dreams for approximately two decades, until only subsistence remains. In Slow Noodles , Chantha Nguon recounts her life as a Cambodian refugee who loses everything and everyone--her home, her family, her country--all but the remembered tastes and aromas of her mother's kitchen. She summons the quiet rhythms of 1960s Battambang, her provincial hometown, before the dictator Pol Pot tore her country apart and killed more than a million Cambodians, many of them ethnic Vietnamese like Nguon and her family. Then, as an immigrant in Saigon, Nguon loses her mother, brothers, and sister and eventually flees to a refugee camp in Thailand. For two decades in exile, she survives by cooking in a brothel, serving drinks in a nightclub, making and selling street food, becoming a suture nurse, and weaving silk. Nguon's irrepressible spirit and determination come through in this lyrical memoir that includes more than twenty family recipes such as sour chicken-lime soup, green papaya pickles, and p'té de foie, as well as Khmer curries, stir-fries, and handmade bánh canh noodles. Through it all, re-creating the dishes from her childhood becomes an act of resistance, of reclaiming her place in the world, of upholding the values the Khmer Rouge sought to destroy, and of honoring the memory of her beloved mother, whose "slow noodles" approach to healing and cooking prioritized time and care over expediency. Slow Noodles is an inspiring testament to the power of food to keep alive a refugee's connection to her past and spark hope for a beautiful life.
