What are we reading? - Harborwitch - 09-06-2014
In between work and "stuff" I've been doing some reading this summer. In between all the thrillers, mysteries, etc. I've managed "Yes Chef" by Marcus Samuelson. His story was astounding - what a life he has led and his passion for food and cooking is totally inspiring!
I'm now in the middle of "The Hundred Foot Journey" by Richard Morais. It's a great story and is making me hungry for some Indian food!
There are so many more on my list . . . we'll see what the library has. Has anyone else been reading any good "food books"?

Hmm...I don't think so, but do thank you for recommending some!
Re: What are we reading? - Gourmet_Mom - 09-06-2014
Not me, but I'm liking the sounds of your recommendations! Especially the Samuelson book!

Shall have to check those out. I have a huge amount of respect for Marcus Samuelsson. He's my favourite judge on Chopped, too.

I know . . . listening to him actually narrate his book really felt like listening to a friend recounting his life - I love his recipies.

Haven't read a food book for the longest time....wait, did read Bourdain's Medium Raw.
And, I have Tasting Home by Judith Newton waiting to be read.
P.S. came back to add - just saw this in my newsletter this a.m. about Richard Marais -
the interview

Thank you Jean! That was interesting to read. I had a feeling from the way he describes food that he must love food & cooking. There were a few dishes he describes that didn't sit well - but that's okay.

Thank you, Sharon. I just downloaded both of those books (sound version) from my library.

The Invention of Wings by Sue Monk Kidd. She also wrote the Secret Life of Bees.

I racked my brain (what little is left) to remember the last foodie book I read...... THE REAL MEAL REVOLUTION by Tim Noakes et al.......packed full of information. I read this cover to cover, including the recipes (which are not great IMHO). I have revisited the recipes and alter them according to his taste===he is a HUGE sport for the changes. This is his version of the Banting diet and it has done wonders for the GOLDMANS----he has now decreased his prednisone (for polymalgia) by a half and now we think we can eliminate his cholesterol med-----Next blood level will lead us on the way-----AMAZING what this diet has done---FOR HIM!!!!!!
