Foodie reading

In the spirit of our last book, I thought I'd post some recommended foodie reading:

The Apprentice: My Life in the Kitchen by Jacques Pepin

My Life in France by Julia Child and Alex Prud'Homme

The Last Chinese Chef: A Novel by Nicole Mones

Julie and Julia: My Year of Cooking Dangerously by Julie Powell

The Man Who Ate Everything by Jeffrey Steingarten

The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals by Michael Pollan

Tender at the Bone: Growing Up at the Table by Ruth Reichl
(also the sequels: Comfort Me with Apples: More Adventures at the Table and Garlic and Sapphires: The Secret Life of a Critic in Disguise)

Alone in the Kitchen with an Eggplant: Confessions of Cooking for One and Dining Alone by Jenni Ferrari-Adler

Some of these were recommended to me by members of our book club (thanks Karen and Liz!) and others I found on my own. Enjoy!
