Hungry eyes: a memoir of appetite, ambition and the odd bag of Wotsits for dinner
On the shelf? Just pop in.
For years, Dawn O'Porter believed that fulfilment lived somewhere glamorous - in success, recognition, and a life lived loudly. Somewhere between grieving loss, learning to cook something vaguely nutritious, Hollywood dreams, raising children, writing bestselling fiction and eating wotsits for dinner, Dawn discovered that the real spotlight wasn't out there. It was here, at the kitchen table. In the messy moments, and in the meals burned, devoured, avoided and adored. Food became her stage, her comfort and her love language. 'Hungry Eyes' is a memoir about identity and appetite. The moments and the meals that quietly shape who we become and the ingredients we use to gradually build a life. She explores the lifelong pressure to 'bring something to the table', and the hunger that can create inside us as a result.
