Listed as nonfiction but the author states on page 8 of the Introduction “Though this book is a food memoir, the chapters rely on the mosaic structure of the lyric essay and on the rhythm of language of a poet. I also incorporate fiction to fill in the gaps of historical record…”. She then reiterates in the Acknowledgments her use of fiction and  how she “relied heavily” on her imagination.
