I've just finished Ruth Richls book, and have read at least one of Anthony Bourdains books. (He's Hysterically Nasty) I even enjoy reading a good international cookbook. Can anyone recommend any interesting books about food, cooking and eating?

I don't know if it is available in the US yet. My DH ordered it from a bookstore for me in Montreal. It is real food porn. Comes with a CD rom about the restaurant too. Recipes too. See if you can find it, it is worth owning. Tue Jul 24 10:57:25 -0700 2007 2776914 10285 Candy
