Notes on a Banana – Author Interview with David Leite
April 22, 2017 by JennyNotes on a Banana: A Memoir of
Food, Love, and Manic Depression is the brilliant and
long-awaited memoir from the beloved founder of the James Beard
Award-winning website, Leite’s
Culinaria. David’s website is indexed for our members – one click and
almost 2,900 recipes will be added to your bookshelf.
Notes on a Banana is funny, touching and
stay-up-all-night read – a story of the tumultous journey of a life
well-lived. As the mother of a child with Aspergers and bi-polar,
David’s words resonated with me.
The author has a number of events scheduled to promote his
memoir – check to see if he is in your area.
David was kind enough to answer a few questions for Eat Your Books members. Be sure to head over to our contest page to enter our giveaway for three copies of this must-read book of 2017.
Q: First of all, bravo on such a wonderful piece of work. Tell us about the title – how did you come up with that?

Jenny’s note: Thank you, David, for your time and perspective on the writing of your memoir. I strongly disagree with you on one point, I know hundreds of thousands of cookbook fans that would never pass up a cookbook. Food52 cookbooks are hugely popular even though most of the recipes are on the their website. There needs to be a Leite’s cookbook, I’d buy it.
