Delicious Pakistani dishes--fresh roti, chaat, pakoras, and shorba--and also Pizza Hut, Dairy Queen, and an abundance of American processed foods, as her family discovered its adopted country through its (fast) food. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e At the same time, her family was becoming increasingly alarmed about their chubby daughter's future. Most important, how would she ever get married? In \u003ci\u003eFatty Fatty Boom Boom\u003c\/i\u003e, Chaudry chronicles the dozens of times she tried and failed to achieve what she was told was her ideal weight. The truth is, though, she always loved food too much to hold a grudge against it. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e At once an ode to Pakistani cuisine, including Chaudry's favorite recipes; a love letter to her Muslim family both here and in Lahore; and a courageously honest portrait of a woman grappling with a body that gets the job done but refuses to meet the expectations of others. For anyone who has ever been weighed down by their weight-- whatever it is--Chaudry shows us how freeing it is to finally make peace with body we have. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rabia Chaudry\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Algonquin Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/08\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.00w x 1.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781643750385\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/11\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2022 pg. 148\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2022 pg. 14\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eShelf Awareness\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/05\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRabia Chaudry\u003c\/b\u003e is an attorney, advocate, podcaster, and executive producer of the four-part HBO documentary, \u003ci\u003eThe Case Against Adnan Syed\u003c\/i\u003e, which was based on her \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling book, \u003ci\u003eAdnan's Story\u003c\/i\u003e.
