Here are a dozen foodie books with #FoodOnCover that I like. There‘s plenty more to choose from but I thought these had a fresh and/or spring-ish vibe. 💛🌱💚

pick5 stars. Poor Robin gets divorced and looses her job all at once. This is her story of moving to her 650 ft cabin in Michigan as her full time home. What follows is a series of essays with recipes about her struggles to feed herself on a budget while staying true to her keep it local ideals. Very sweet although her “budget” is 40.00 a week which is pretty good considering some; but much less then what she was used to. A very sweet read.
pickI so enjoyed this! A combination of stepping into your own, living frugally, living in the country, and eating locally.
Still Wednesday here! Mahalo to @Texreader for the tag. ?
1. I worked in the Philippines years ago where I was 'Debs' & it always makes me smile.?
2. Not that strange, but the subtitle of the tagged book is "How I lost my job, buried a marriage, and found my way by keeping chickens, foraging, preserving, bartering, and eating locally." A woman in book club refused to read it due to title length!?
3. Not really?
4. Pretty important! ?
5. All?
Day 21 #AprilBookShowers #subtitles ?Foodie Memoirs & foodie non-fiction often have detailed & lengthy subtitles. I think The Feast Nearby wins for one of the longest: "How I lost my job, buried a marriage, and found my way by keeping chickens, foraging, preserving, bartering, and eating locally (all on forty dollars a week)" but these are all good ones. One of my favorite foodie authors-Kathleen Flinn-has lengthy subtitles on all 3 of her books.
pickI was worried that this book would be an Eat, Pray, Love repeat...indulgent in other words but it focused on her working to eat locally and well, with some excellent recipes and lovely moments. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Day12 #booktober #longtitles I immediately thought of this foodie memoir with its very long subtitle: 'The Feast Nearby: How I lost my job, buried a marriage, and found my way by keeping chickens, foraging, preserving, bartering, and eating locally (all on forty dollars a week)" A pick from my virtual foodie bookclub, a member refused to read it saying she had "a policy of not reading books with stupidly long winded titles!" which I found funny!?
