non-cookbook food books
 

i'm currently reading Heat by bill buford. it's pretty good, i'm enjoying it. i've read a cooks tour and kitchen confidential by bourdain, and i've read the united states of arugala by whoever wrote it. oh, and i've read julie and julia, which i really enjoyed. those are the books i've read that were good enough to remember.

i am thinking of reading the soul of a chef by ruhlman.

have you read any non-cookbook books about food, cooking, cheffing, whatever, that you really really enjoyed?

I was a fan of Marco Pierre White's Autobiography "Devil in the Kitchen".

Heat was one of my favorite books, it's a great read.

Tender at the Bone, Ruth Reichel's memoirs of growing up. It's a pretty cool coming of age story.

Pretty much anything by MFK Fisher. She makes me hungry.

And The Man Who Ate Everything by Jeffrey Steingarten.

I love food writing. I read a lot of it. I'll have to pick up Ruth Reichl's book--I like her a lot.
