What's your favorite food memoir?Posted Aug 13th 2007 6:36PM by Marisa McClellanFiled under: Books, Lists, AmericaI'm heading into my last semester of grad school and preparing to write my thesis. It's a collection of essays about cooking, kitchen tools and family. One of the things my adviser requires is a plan, including a reading list of books that are in the subject area and will help guide me through the work. I've been pulling the list together both physically and on paper. Friday morning I wandered through my apartment, creating a stack of food books that I already owned that could join the list. (I realize that Laurie Colwin is totally absent from the line up, but I say in my defense that my mom currently is in possession of my copies of "Home Cooking" and "More Home Cooking"). I also queried some friends for book recommendations and was referred to a great segment that aired on NPR's Morning Edition back in June. In it Steve Inskeep spoke with Ruth Reichl about her favorite food memoirs. In the segment she spoke about several books, but then also furnished NPR with a more complete list of gastronomical memoirs for posting on the website. Okay Slashfoodies, what are your favorite food memoirs?
