Note: I’m posting from my phone! You may need to click on the title of the re-blogged post to see the photos. Or not! Just fyi in case.
This week’s topic is books for a class–I choose a class on living a foodie life! I may just teach this someday–maybe at a public library? A foodie book group? Fun!
Just one of my reminders that, even when you click on a link to book in Amazon, I do not make any money off this blog.
Nonfiction
1. A Boat, a Whales & a Walrus: Menus and Stories by Renee Erickson &Jess Thomson. My review.
2. My Berlin Kitchen: Adventures in Love and Life by Luisa Weiss. My review.
3. On Rue Tatin: Living and Cooking in a French Town by Susan Hermann Loomis. My review.
4. Julie & Julia: 365 Days, 524 Recipes 1 Tiny Apartment Kitchen by Julia Powell and My Life in France by Julia Child [I’m counting these as one since both are Julia]. The movie Julie & Julia is one of the few movies I’ve ever enjoyed as much or more (yes, More!) than the book!
5. Kitchen Confidential by Anthony Bourdain.
6. Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver. This gets a tad precious in places, but is still excellent.
Foodie Life for Normal People:
5. Dinner a Love Story by Jenny Rosenstrach. My review.
6. Bread and Wine: A Love Letter to Life Around the Table With Recipes by Shauna Neiquist. You can read my thoughts on this book in this post.
Fiction
7. Kitchens of the Great Midwest by J. Ryan Stadal. My review.
For those who enjoy a little touch of fantasy or paranormal (neither of these are my thing, but I LOVED these books.)
8. Garden Spells by Sarah Addison Allen
9. Chocolat by Joanne Harris
10. Like Water for Chocolate by Laura Esquivel

Lovely selection of titles. I did a post on food in fiction recently which went down very well. A combination of two of my favourite things!

Excellent list. I did a foodie fiction reading challenge a few years ago and you’ve listed lots of faves!

Did you do a post on it? I’m always looking for more fun/good foodie books–they’re a favorite of mine, obviously!

Interesting! I don’t know that I’ve ever read a food-themed book (I’ve not read any you listed). I do love eating, but I’m not sure reading about eating/food would appeal to me that much. I guess I need to test that theory out đŸ™‚

I’m a foodie so I enjoy these very much. The Julia Child one is the most interesting.
