Favorite Food Books?
I just finished reading a great perspective on the obesity problems in the US, and now I am on to a *fabulous* book, called The Fortune Cookie Chronicles. Basically, I have a month between my last class this summer and the next term in the autumn, when I will again be swamped with work and homework. So, I am trying to get as many foodie-type books in as possible and I was hoping to hear from you guys about your suggestions.
Not cookbooks (heaven knows I need to start using the ones that I have already, since I rarely use recipes), but rather, travel writing, novels, political/economic perspectives on health/nutrition/food/history of eating, et cetera. Any suggestions would be great and what are your favorites? What did you like about them? Do you read foodie-oriented books very often?
And does anyone else secretly read cookbooks as though they were novels, like I have done?
