Brooke Siem, MAY CAUSE SIDE EFFECTS: A Memoir

Award-winning chef, author, and speaker Brooke Siem joins Zibby to talk about her debut memoir, May Cause Side Effects, which tells the story of her withdrawal after fifteen years on antidepressants. The two discuss how Brooke's experience affected her memories—including when she won Food Network's Chopped competition—as well as how her support network helped her reframe her outlook on life. Brooke also shares how her antidepressant journey impacted her relationship with food, who she hopes will read her book, and which author shaped her writing journey the most.
