I don't know about you, but I've been doing a lot of food reading lately, possibly because I am fantasizing about cooking real meals again. Between toddler wrangling and being chronically ill, I just haven't had the time or the energy to devote to actual food, so I'm living vicariously through cookbooks, The Splendid Table, and just reading about food.
An example: I read The Saffron Kitchen, and, in looking for a little more information on the book and the author, I stumbled on My Saffron Kitchen, a blog on Indian food (yum!) and I even discovered there's a local caterer called Saffron Kitchen, though I'm not a huge pie eater - savory or sweet - so I simply found that an interesting aside. But worlds of reading and food collide in other unexpected ways, too. I've also been spending a lot of this summer reading Mark Twain. Btw, I wish I could say re-reading but in most instances, that is not the case. So then my ears perked up when I heard about Andrew Beahrs' book, which discusses Mark Twain as a locovore. Added it to my wish list.
You been reading anything lately that's food-related?
