3/5
In this book, Peter Maybe travels around France for culinary events. He observes, and learns from locals about the food, sometimes how to eat it, how to cook it or prepare it...
It's a well-written light read.
⚠️ This book can make you hungry!!!

Oh so spot on! Completely satisfied my curry lust. I will add a note to include a dollop of plain yogurt & cilantro. #Mtcookbook

JamieArc I may have taken a screenshot of this post so I could zoom in and look at the recipe 🧐. I should see if my library has this cookbook though! 6mo
Tamra @JamieArc yes! Do check it out to see if you might like it. 6mo
mabell For me, yogurt is an obligatory curry accompaniment 😆 6mo

A bit early in the day for #hyggehour but I really wanted tea & cake (my 1st since Easter & I'm going to regret making it in a mug come washing-up time)!
Here's my #Spain #FoodandLit reading list: A Heart So White by Javier Marías, and 2 cookbooks from my shelves: 1080 Recipes by Simone & Inès Ortega (a classic!) and The Best 100 Spanish Recipes.

Linford takes units of time - seconds, minutes, hours, weeks etc and writes short entries on how that unit of time effects different food from the exact minutes to make a perfect cup of tea to the years to mature a port. She meets lots of amazingly talented and dedicated farmers, producers and shops who champion quality and heritage. Very engaging read, full of little snippets of knowledge and windows into other worlds. Loved it

3- adventurous and thorough… maybe???

#Naturalitsy #MidwinterSolace

I used my wintery-est non-fiction book a few weeks ago for the solstice/equinox prompt, so for this #FridayNightShare I‘m going with a favorite winter cookbook from Brit chef Diana Henry. All of her books are delightful to read & look at & this one is especially cozy (although not great for vegan diets) with chapters on cheeses, winter veg/fruits, meats/game, smoked food, etc. Her smoked fish risotto is a favorite.❄️

TheBookHippie Well, I need this 😅👩🏻‍🍳🎯 11mo
AllDebooks This is a great book. It's just been republished for a 20 year anniversary edition, here in the UK. It's even more beautiful. 😍 https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/1783255706/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?ie=UTF8&qid=170... 11mo
DebinHawaii @AllDebooks @TheBookHippie Well that beauty just puts my little paperback version away! Gorgeous! And available on US Amazon as well. (Also I saw the Kindle version is $1.99 right now-although much as I love reading books on Kindle I need print for cookbooks!) 😍 11mo
Chrissyreadit You have tied for most stacked for non fiction! will send something your way! 11mo
DebinHawaii @Chrissyreadit Aww. Thank you, but since I already won once before, you really don‘t have to send me anything! 🤗 11mo

I laughed so much reading this book. Food, meals, books, family, friends. So much of our lives revolves around food, and we don‘t really stop to think about it. The idea of a last meal, throwing the idea of meals, at all, out the window, in the end, is our last freedom. But, seriously, this is a very funny and fun read. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Tamra That sounds fun! 11mo

#DecemberDreams

I‘d love to #LetItSnow but this isn‘t the climate for it. I picked this cookbook for today‘s prompt because of the title (the sub title is “Food to Warm the Soul”) & because it‘s a good one to get into a cozy, wintery spirit. ❄️💙❄️

Eggs Great choice! I love figs ❤️ 12mo

The right kind of poetry to read for Thanksgiving! I liked 26 of these poems. Not a ton but enough to keep it.
