4.4/5 ( ratings)

The Uncommon Feast is a collection of essays, poems, and recipes, and brings together the varied work of poet Eileen Chong on one of her favourite topics, food.

There are both previously published and new poems about food in the collection, several authentic recipes of dishes that Chong writes about in her essays and poems. The poet Judith Beveridge has written an introduction.

In The Uncommon Feast, Eileen Chong gives us a collection of poetry, essays and recipes that remark on how food has shaped her life, her way of understanding her world, and the world of connections with those around her.
