Dewey‘s 24-Hour Readathon is about to begin! It‘s my 32nd consecutive ‘thon (which: whoa) and I‘m all set to kick it off with another chapter from THE KAMOGAWA FOOD DETECTIVES. It‘s lovely so far; a little bit like MIDNIGHT DINER in how it uses particular dishes to unravel the mysteries behind people‘s lives, but without the show‘s underlying grit. #deweysapril2024
pickThis book was recommended to me by my book club friends. This is a perfect book for book loving foodies! Mix one dry sense of humor, a dollop or two of nostalgia, a large dose of insight, a handful of appreciation, and a penchant for honesty, and you end up with this delectable morsel of a book! It is impossible to listen to these sexy descriptions of food without wanting to cook and eat your way through this book. So be warned,(cont in comments)

pickA continuation of Ruth Reichl's first memoir Tender at the Bone. Takes you through her life as she establishes herself as a food critic, her first divorce, her second husband and her want to become a mother.
Decent read.
pickI very much enjoyed this interwoven tale of the history of ice cream and the author‘s obsession in tasting and understanding the world of ice cream. I somehow connected years ago with Amy on social media which is why I was sad to recently learn from her husband‘s posts that she had passed away. I only wish I had gotten to her book sooner. It‘s a lovely tale well told.
pickI will never work in a kitchen (I don't think I have the chops for it), but... it sounds like a wild place to spend some time. I am thankful for the amazing chefs in my life :) - (my husband is a phenomenal cook, and his sister is a chef for a retirement community).
Anthony Bourdain was an amazing man, he is surely missed.
REVIEW - 4/24
Why did her mother want her to go to Paris?
Stella liked her quiet, solitary life and her predictable job at the publishing house, but off to Paris she went.
You will love the characters - eccentric, sweet, and loving.
And of course you will fall in love with Paris.
A delightful, breezy read, but don‘t read this book if you are hungry. 5/5

pickThis is an incredible read about why ultra-processed food is so damaging to our health and society at large. Amazing research to back up the author's claims. Highly recommend if you're interested in learning more about health.
