Biting, pungent, salty and yes sweet, too, this is the true story of Albert Chos life in food and the paramount place of food in his life. Writer Albert Cho has lived through a lot already – from the bland suburban Kiwi racism and heady dairy lolly-bag runs of his childhood to sexual abuse, from the lows of disordered eating to the highs of substance addiction, from obscurity to international modelling, from influencer success and controversy to ‘C-list celebrity fame’. Part recipe book, part backstory to the phenomenon of @eatlitfood, part unapologetically sweary guide to eating and drinking and savoir vivre, I Love My Stupid Life is – above all – a powerfully candid and moving memoir from one of the most inimitable, unapologetic voices of our time. Essential reading. Food is so much more than flavours and textures.
