Schools still out (for UD at least) so while most of you are probably at home enjoying the big perk of break- home cooked meals, we've found some books to read while you're on vacation (we're jealous), or just hanging out at home with nothing to do. Here are some great books written by well known food critics and writers.
1) Tender at the Bone by Ruth Reichl- Ruth is the Editor-in-Chief of Gourmet Magazine and has written a book on her life and her experiences with food. Growing up with a mother who was only able to cook really disgusting and sometimes unsanitary dishes, she learned quickly the power, and the dangers of food.
"Food could be a way of making sense of the world, If you watched peopleas they ate, you could find out who they were."
This memoir is both funny and enlightening.. and only $15.95 at Borders
2) Insatiable by Gael Greene- This book is a definite must read for the food snob. Gael Greene, who is and has been a food critic for New York Magazine for years upon years, and was also a judge on Top Chef Masters, discusses her life-long passion for great food and great sex. This memoir covers both her career in food and history with men in a book that is interesting, but at points a bit much. Never the less it's an incredible look into an amazingly delicious life of luxury.
3) The Nasty Tidbits by Anthony Bourdain- Bourdain hosts No Reservations on the Travel Channel, a show about the food in different cities and regions throughout the world. He is both funny and awesomely sarcastic on the show and luckily he writes exactly as he speaks. This book is a collection of outrageous stories about his travels and his meals. He is refreshingly opinionated and this is a great read for those of you who like funny books.
Keep Craving!
