Audiobook review of My First Popsicle, edited by Zosia Mamet

For My First Popsicle: An Anthology of Food and Feelings (7 hours), actor Zosia Mamet (“Girls,” “The Flight Attendant”) has gathered a who’s-who of artistic of us, together with fellow actors like Busy Philipps, musicians like Patti Smith, writers like David Sedaris and cooks like Kwame Onwuachi. Each contributed an essay about meals or a food-related reminiscence, and the gathering of almost 50 essays provides a veritable smorgasbord of cuisines and emotional resonance. Some essays are humorous and candy, whereas others have interaction with extra severe topics, corresponding to melancholy or disordered consuming. Because the essays are quick (most run properly below 10 minutes), listening to the gathering looks like searching a gourmand buffet. Many contributors learn their very own works; others are learn by notable audiobook narrators or actors, together with Mamet herself. The audiobook comes with a PDF of recipes related to every essay. 

If you’re the type of one who likes to pop on an audiobook or podcast when you’re cooking, My First Popsicle is perhaps simply the factor for dinner tonight.
