From the electric excess of the late-’90s New York City club scene to Hollywood tables where she served celebrities, Tarajia moved through the world restless but hopeful, unsure of what would come next.Wherever she found herself, the pleasures of food guided her. The brine and brightness of ceviche on a Uruguayan beach. The intoxicating sprawl of Barcelona’s food markets. A perfectly ripe plum eaten over the sink by her graceful mother. Through deep heartbreak and loss, it was food that kept Tarajia tethered and whispered of who she was.Desire Feeds the Feast is a boldly written memoir about the ache of lost loves, the comfort of a perfect bite, and the hard-won victory of finding home where least expected. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/563e54f0-a105-11f1-8382-27c8b4f8dbac-rimg-w497-h740-dc180808-gmir.jpg Tarajia Morrell is a native New Yorker who grew up at the table.

Our founder Benjamin Bass was all of twenty-five years old when he began his modest used bookstore and sought to create a place where books would be loved, and book lovers could congregate. Ninety years and a move over to Broadway, the Strand is still run by the Bass Family and is home to four floors of over 2.5 million used, new, and rare books, a wide array of bookish gifts, and fun literary events held almost every night of the week. From the dollar carts outside to the Rare Book Room on the third floor, and cheeky graffiti-ing throughout the store courtesy of Steve “EPSO” Powers, the iconic store now stands testament a place for book lovers to explore." } ] } ] ```
