Then He Ate My Boy Entrancers: I love this whole series (the last couple books aren't the best, but most of them are very fun)
Chocolat: One of the few books that has genuinely made me want to eat the food described within!
Eat Pray Love: I know, this book is cliche at this point, but there is so much weirdness about being a woman and one's relationship to food that I think the idea of practicing indulgence deliberately hasn't lost its power.
Kitchen Confidential: This is Anthony Bourdain's first memoir, and it is what you would expect it to be...bursting with appreciation for food and life, irreverent, and rough around the edges.
The Hunger Games: I love this series, and the first one in particular is my favorite.
In Defense of Food: This one literally says food in the title. It basically boils down to an admonition to eat mostly whole/unprocessed foods.
Breakfast at Tiffany's: The movie is lovely, but if you've never read the book I'd really encourage it! It's quite short, more of a novella, but just wonderfully put together.
Sex Drugs and Cocoa Puffs: You can't go wrong with Chuck Klosterman on pop culture.
The Grapes of Wrath: Grapes are food! Though this book is much more concerned with citrus groves in California (also, I hated this book).
The Cider House Rules: Cider is drink rather than food, but close enough, eh? I loved the movie in high school, which inspired me to pick up the book and I have loved it ever since.
I've never read Breakfast at Tiffany's. I should pick it up some time. Eat, Pray, Love made it onto my list too. I hesitated over because people seem to love to hate it, but dang it, it made me hungry, so I added it.

Breakfast at Tiffany's is fantastic, and quite short so a quick and easy read. And glad I'm not the only one not quite on board with the E,P,L backlash!
DeleteYes, Chocolat had very descriptive food passages!

Thanks!
Delete"Boy entrancers" lol 😂 I haven't heard of some of these titles but they've definitely piqued my interest! Great post!
ReplyDeleteIf I recall correctly (it's been a while), the boy entrancers in question were false eyelashes lol
DeleteI like what you did here! I wish I would have remembered to put Cider House Rules on my list.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read it in so long but I have such fond memories of it
