(I don’t know if it’s too late for my entry, but I would love to try anyway)

Although it’s rare to find these days, I’m a college student who loves reading. Aside from just reading, one of my “passions” is food, which is what attracted me to your novel, “Trail of Crumbs.” This pack of book not only combines witty titles that appeal to me, but they tell stories of individuals growing into their own identity, something that I can identify with at the moment. I would like this pack of books not only to be able to read the works of successful fellow Asian American writers, but also continue to fuel a love of literature.

There are so many reasons why I want this set of books. Let’s start off with the obvious and unchangeable – I am human and therefore subject to the gimme gene. Second, they look like incredible books. Third, I have long been interested in “Asian” culture (I realize there are a lot of cultures, but roll with it) and this is one way that I can get started without expensive travel.

My favorite food memory is really simple. My father perfected his steak cooking technique (apologies to the vegetarians). He give them a rub with onion and garlic powders and salt, puts them in a campfire griller, and drinks a beer to measure time to cook on each side. MMMMM!

My favorite food memory will always be going downtown with my Aunt to see movies and then going to Tutenbergs for lunch. They had these delicious greasy burgers and frys. And she always laughed about how bad they must be for all of us, but I loved them.

I’m a vegetarian now, and a much healthier eater, but that whole memory still makes me smile.

I devoured your book Trail of Crumbs in 5 days. I stayed up way too late and when I did finally turn off my book light the images in my head of the places and foods you described lingered for some time before I was able to fall asleep. My fondest memories of friends and travel all revolve around food and wine. The first time I tried duck confit was when my friend Isabelle’s mother came to visit from Viarmes. She brought several big round cans and I stood right by her as she opened a can and removed quartered pieces of duck from a gelatinous mess and asked me if I wanted the duck fat? I refused it then but now I have learned to cook with the fat and now understand why she offered it to me. The richness and depth of flavor the fat imparts is sublime. I would love to read the books by the other Asian writers and hope I enjoy them as much as I did yours.

My favorite food memory comes from tasting my mother-in-law’s cooking for the first time. My mother never cooked when I grew up, and my new boyfriend’s mother cooked a LOT. (Appropriately for this pack, she is from Taiwan.) I was scared at first, because I was not opened up to many foods, but her food did–and still does–makes me feel like I’m comfortable and at home.

We were military stationed in Korea for 2 years several years back and would love to win this set of books. Korean food was super and we learned to even relish kimchee
