I Could Smell it from a Room Away

by 826LA Youth Authors

A food-focused collection with a good amount of everything else! Students share recipes, recite culinary poetry, and write about other memories from their pasts and daily lives. Hear a captivating cabbage poem, what a dream restuarant might look like, or learn where to find the best poke in Boston (and the world).

— Simon Traub-Epstein, International Library of Young Authors

From the publisher: “The 2023 chapbook by students of 826LA’s evening tutoring program, TNT, is about food. Why we love it, what we love to eat, and where we go to eat great food. Students share their favorite family recipes, a memorable meal, or a guilty eating pleasure. One story is about a student making Christmas tamales, another story is about a student’s family memories at Denny’s. In all of these stories, we hope you’ll discover not just what our students love to eat, but how food connects to their lives.”
