Tarajia Morrell, DESIRE FEEDS THE FEAST: A Memoir
About this Event
FREE. Registration requested.
Born to one of New York's most celebrated wine families, Tarajia Morrell grew up at the table, where conversation was wine-soaked and food was the love language--a merchant's daughter amid the Manhattan elite.
In this lush, lyrical memoir, the James Beard Award-winning writer traces a life shaped by hunger--for beauty, for love, for pleasure, and for belonging. From the electric excess of the late-'90s New York City club scene to Hollywood tables where she served celebrities, Tarajia moved through the world restless but hopeful, unsure of what would come next.

Morrell is the co-author of James Beard Award-winner Savor: A Chef's Hunger for More, with Fatima Ali, and author of Soul of New York: A Guide to 30 Exceptional Experiences.
